I had 9 full requests right off when i started querying my MS. None of them ended up going anywhere, but reading this post makes me feel much better. It's a hard lesson to learn that a full request, like a referral, really only guarantees a look at the MS and nothing moreSarah Ahiershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02795455714801965956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-80127986617285496722011-12-16T21:21:27.460+07:002011-12-16T21:21:27.460+07:00Every single journey is unique.Every single journey is unique.Matthew MacNishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264738483763244969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-12639279288657376332011-12-16T04:34:52.324+07:002011-12-16T04:34:52.324+07:00Oh man, way to leave us hanging!

I mean, I knew you had a life before I found your blog (fancy that!), but I hadn't realized yet how long you'd queried and where you were with it before you got your agent. I suppose that's my fault for not reading your archives, but still. admiration for you getting an agent. A LOT MORE admiration for you for enduring this looooong haul to getting one :)Jessica Silvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405267450788581689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-90794838904609690822011-12-15T03:25:02.259+07:002011-12-15T03:25:02.259+07:00I can't wait for Friday's post!

It's taken me years just to reach that first query, and it would have taken me even longer, if I hadn't promised Krista I'd query by the end of the year.Myrna Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13534358757278599925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-68717240987848472722011-12-15T02:53:43.553+07:002011-12-15T02:53:43.553+07:00Getting ready to send my query off with referrals ...Getting ready to send my query off with referrals from some published friends, and MUST keep in mind "the referral can only get your work seen, not sold."

But I keep muscling on bilstered with the hope from writers like you, Adam.
