I love what Mary said--she's all sorts of awesome when it comes to helping out aspiring writers. <br /><br />I would also add August is a bad month to submit because of vacations as well.<br /><br />Have a great night!Jackeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03351019926958000627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265337380795438486.post-54073120458545757752010-11-21T19:31:56.662-08:002010-11-21T19:31:56.662-08:00Terry Lynn,

I'd imagine that your writing would have to be pretty darn tight to make it to the agent stage in the first place, and you're already there (check out Terry's awesome novel DOGSLED DREAMS!).Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121018905141253640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265337380795438486.post-47888643219022163992010-11-21T15:02:57.166-08:002010-11-21T15:02:57.166-08:00Mmmm...

But, I should say, my agent got back to me within a few hours after submission, so I think there are always exceptions and sometimes, even luck!TerryLynnJohnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08380207155608982319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265337380795438486.post-35355929143518872222010-11-21T07:09:55.861-08:002010-11-21T07:09:55.861-08:00Great advice once again!

Also, I can't believe anyone would submit a NaNoWriMo novel without revising! Suddenly, I feel a lot of compassion for literary agents.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681732058311386672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265337380795438486.post-9037541152942537362010-11-20T08:21:21.408-08:002010-11-20T08:21:21.408-08:00December is also a bad month for coming out with ...December is also a bad month for coming out with a book and book signings.

I've decided to take the holiday break with the rest of them, absorb some AWESOME fiction in December and query at the first of the year. Hopefully that works out for me. Great post, thanks!Donea Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15393184831994368021noreply@blogger.com
