You've definitely given me some things to think about. I'll definitely have to take this into consideration as I walk my way through the publishing process.<br /><br />From that first querying stage, I didn't receive any revision requests -- two partials, but nothing happened with either, and I soon outgrew the project.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this, and I wish you the best of luck with your work and querying. I hope your story falls in the right hand someday.<br /><br />Cheers!Weronika Janczukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02578288655500573458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-60646975426803299752009-07-28T12:21:06.960-07:002009-07-28T12:21:06.960-07:00Em, this is great information; thanks for sharing ...Em, this is great information; thanks for sharing it. I learned a lot, like it probably wouldn't have occurred to me to ask if I could submit a revised partial. It definitely sounds like you handled these situations professionally.Kate Fallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12856887940900664692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-63712702049319633532009-07-28T08:37:35.248-07:002009-07-28T08:37:35.248-07:00When I was agent-hunting, I received a couple revi...When I was agent-hunting, I received a couple revision requests before signing. One was to completely rewrite the entire book from another character's POV. Um, no. Wasn't going to happen. The POINT of the story was for it to be from the MC's pov.<br /><br />The second one was to rewrite the book with the MC being younger than originally written. I agreed with that one and gave it a shot, but ultimately the agent didn't love it enough to take it on.<br /><br />I agree, Em. You have to think the revision suggestions will make the work better, NOT just secure you an agent. :)DeenaMLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093257361683249174noreply@blogger.com
