So, I just got home from adventuring out to find the bits and bobs of what I need to make a rejection spike (that will be a later post) and I have my first ever rejection. John Wordsworth of Zeno Agency Ltd. is off the list. I thought I’d be absolutely shattered, but it was a good first rejection. He gave me some positive opinions, but said that it wasn’t what they were looking for at the time. It made all the difference to me that he didn’t send a form rejection. It was tailored to me and let me know that he did actually read it.
It’ll probably hit me in a little bit, but for right now, I’m calm. It helps having friends bored at work who I can talk to….and a pile of dishes I need to get up to wash. Yay for having distracting things to do!

A not-form rejection is AWESOME! That means your query letter is working, which is the most important step, really. Can’t wait to hear how the others turn out!

Thanks Emily! I was oddly excited by the rejection, but I’d rather not get too many more! Sending out more queries this morning, so we’ll see how it goes!
