Thanks for your words of encouragement...Dear Toby,<br /><br />Thanks for your words of encouragement. Been researching the alternatives thoroughly. Going to give the conventional agents a chance to rough me up first. Will dispense with the S+M after a year.<br /><br />Good luck with your work. I hope to hear you published soon.<br /><br />Aloha,<br /><br />DougDouglas MacIlroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01409271315301566155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006457779446525898.post-2735910141281031842011-02-12T04:12:58.190-08:002011-02-12T04:12:58.190-08:00Thanks, Madison.

I just (finally) signed with an agent after 5 months of revisions with her, but tht just means that now I'm waiting to see what publishers say and bracing for more revisions. With "indie" publishers and the market changing, we may end up all being our own agents so explore one of those alterative routes. That's what I'm going to do if my book doesn't sell.<br />Aloha<br />TobyToby Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14245810488645852955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006457779446525898.post-50463665406763256352011-02-10T12:35:32.645-08:002011-02-10T12:35:32.645-08:00Hey Doug, glad to see you're back!Hey Doug, glad to see you're back!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006457779446525898.post-31970926325389975292011-02-05T21:53:56.394-08:002011-02-05T21:53:56.394-08:00Dear Charlotte,

The great thing about that recommendation was that it was from a woman way outside of my target audience. She read the entire book and enjoyed it enough to try to help me. I choose to find the good things about getting to this point. One of them is meeting you.<br /><br />Aloha,<br /><br />DougDouglas MacIlroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01409271315301566155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006457779446525898.post-28301071880857779132011-02-05T21:46:40.187-08:002011-02-05T21:46:40.187-08:00To me, the rejections that come from an agent who ...To me, the rejections that come from an agent who has been personally recommended are the hardest. I always have such high hopes for those. I don't have any brilliant new words of comfort, except to tell you I'm in exactly the same place, so hang in there. I'm convinced its a numbers game.Charlotte Rains Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12657052065864065323noreply@blogger.com
