I think everyone should be told to query widely, but slowly, so they have time to step back and assess feedback. BTW, just noticed I'm commenting after Beth Kephart. My friend just gave me one of her books. :)Lori W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15513938828806159874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060010344115435519.post-17249791832546805472010-04-29T10:01:13.442-04:002010-04-29T10:01:13.442-04:00This is EXCELLENT Papa-inspired thinking.

There are those cases we read of (like Paul Harding and Tinkers and no one wanting it and the Pulitzer), but often when we hear strong no's, three or four times in a row, we have to look at ourselves and our work and ask questions.

But I didn't need to tell you that, did I? We, as unpublished authors, are sales people.<br /><br />"Why should I be interested in your book over the thousands oit there?" <br /><br />That's the agent's and publisher's question.
