Hi there!
Looking for advice/support after receiving a pretty painful rejection this morning.
A very lovely agent requested a full, came back and rejected, but said she would be happy to see a revised version with some actionable feedback. I took then a month to work in her feedback, and I felt really solid about these updates and confident in the manuscript. I added about 8,000 words, adjusted, added scenes, etc. based on her feedback.
I just received an email this morning that she will be passing, even with the revisions. She said that she was impressed with the edits and stated the manuscript is much stronger now, but that she still isn’t fully buying the central romance.
For context, this is a Contemporary Romance, now complete at 98k words. I’ve sent about 50 queries and had two full requests.
Any pieces of advice on where I go from here? I think I’m also just feeling the pain of the rejection and seeking community. I would love to hear if you have gone through something similar ❤️
Thanks in advance!
