OK, I was in this situation, and I went with the wrong one. I spent two years and countless $$$$ with independent editors (I stress independent, the agents said only "We think this and this and this and this needs to be fixed" and I hired the editors myself on my own dime.) After two full, extensive revisions, the agents said "Sorry, still no. Another book?"
Well, no, not another book. I mean yes, there is one, but I'm not giving upon the blood sweat and tears one, not just yet.
I did politely notify the other interested agents (and the small press) who had expressed interest, but how do I go back to them now? Or do I not go back -- is it too insulting? Do I just move on?
I love your helpful newsletter!! Thank you!
Do you have any idea when you’ll be posting the newsletter on what questions to ask agents on the phone?!? Waiting to read w bells on :)
Thanks again, Kate!
