C. is QUERYING

Author, reader and beta reader | querying my contemporary romance novel | writing my gothic romance ✨

[C. is QUERYING @NeedWriter]

Update : one of them dreamed of my book after reading a chapter before bed
And can’t wait to continue reading it

I’m so flattered wow 😭

The other said she’s objective in her feedback and is thoroughly enjoying the pace, the plot and my writing

[C. is QUERYING @NeedWriter]

I’ve sent my manuscript to my 2 best friends and *drum rolls* they are hooked!
Mind you contemporary romance isn’t a genre they read but the feedbacks they gave me so far are so heartwarming 🥹

@LeenaRonal80521 Yeah I guess my title is catchy enough to make them read it and reject it haha

I think I’ll start to post on my TikTok account as a faceless author
I just have to find the will to make videos, and edit them first

[C. is QUERYING @NeedWriter]

So I revamped my query letter and made the stakes and obstacles clearer
Now I gotta send another batch to agents
Hopefully it can spark more than rejections…
I’m so scared 😭

[C. is QUERYING @NeedWriter]

Wow congrats!!
Didn’t know agent could resubmit a request for a rejected manuscript 😳
You’re one in a million!

[Quin Madden 💻 QUERYING @qmaddenwrites]

I have had a second full request and a resubmit request from an agent who previously rejected my manuscript.
This has been a good week so far!! Let’s keep it going!!

@wrenwritesstuff You’re spectacular! Teach me haha

[C. is QUERYING @NeedWriter]

Goal

[Wren Lennox @wrenwritesstuff]

I wrote for 14 hours straight. I was in a trance. Oh my god. I wrote 20k words.

[Ellie the Author (on submission!) @EllieYellu]

If you're querying and not getting any requests, it's more likely than not your query package, not anything about you or the details of your story.

This is a good tip on a key aspect of the letter. Remember: you're not trying to intrigue, you're trying to persuade!

[C. is QUERYING @NeedWriter]

After 10 rejections I’ve decided to change up my query letter a bit
And realised that my book might be in the wrong genre 😅

Haven had a rejection email for days
It’s sus

[Nicole Sanderson 🌱 Querying @NicoleS_Author]

'Prepare for the worst. No, really.' This response from Friday hit hard because it's true. The rejection rate in publishing is phenomenal - some writers query 100+ agents for ONE yes. In any other industry, that would break people. But writers? They keep going. You're WAY tougher than you know. Every 'no' is market research, not a verdict on your worth. Keep going. #ToughTruthTuesday #WritingCommunity
