Thank you, Kate for sharing this experience. I am a freelance book editor, so this is really helpful for my clients who may feel discouraged about the querying process. Looks like tenacity is key as well as writing a strong book. I love that the author admitted after time that the book she submitted wasn't her best, but she kept at it. AND she queried you again. That's guts. I appreciate this post! Thanks SO MUCH.
Very inspiring. Perseverance pays off!
What a journey! Thanks for spelling it all out.
Such a fantastic article! It was exactly the post I needed! Thanks!
I love the lessons! I love the optimism! Thanks!
Loved this post! (And I loled at Lesson 5)
Thank you! This was exactly the kind of journey that I was hoping to read about—especially with your parenthetical lessons. Thank you!

I would really love a column elaborating on Lesson #3 someday. And thanks so much for this great case study.
