(Not that I would ever dare submit anything in rhyme). Great point about studying board books and noting publishers.

With some agencies, a no from one agent means a no from all of them. This is where it gets frustrating, because you might have done substantial rewrites and another agent hasn't yet seen the story (unless the writing was strong and the ms was passed around but no one wanted to rep it in the end). For some agencies you can probably get away with redoing the query and renaming the book, then requery it to another agent there. Other agencies you can't get away with that.Stina Lindenblattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-47444950580445213022012-04-16T18:18:40.038-04:002012-04-16T18:18:40.038-04:00Happy belated birthday, Susanna!

I'm sorry I missed passing on my wishes before your special day ended. <br /><br />I can remember hearing a publisher at a conference say that if you have made significant changes and a reasonable amount of time has passed, go ahead and submit again. Chances are they won't remember they've rejected you before. I would've thought, though, that in this day and age, most publishers would keep databases listing the names and authors of manuscripts they've received. Whether that's true or not, I have no idea. :-)Cally Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313803959936813426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-41823481450405042782012-04-16T17:49:09.081-04:002012-04-16T17:49:09.081-04:00Found your comments interesting.

Doesn't mean you can't submit a different manuscript. <br /><br />You're not goint to be able to live with Phyllis when she returns home after all of her adventures. But, she will certainly have a lot to say at your school visits.Tiltonphnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-63854700964755547502012-04-16T16:55:37.663-04:002012-04-16T16:55:37.663-04:00What?
