What I hated about sending out queries.....
by A Non-Existent User
Boy oh boy, the time it took to search out agents and publishers was immense and boring. Yes, there are certain sites to check and I did! P&E, for example and others. But I STILL had to read about them to see if they took email queries, or snail mail queries, or if they didn't even want queries. Maddening and time consuming? Identify??

And I found the rejection form letters to be defeating, not simply because of the rejections, but I so wish I REALLY knew why I was being rejected. The typical response is that their plate was full. Not.

So now I wonder what to do NEXT. I've changed the title and am introducing humor into a serious non-fiction topic. Is that enough, I wonder?? And now I am faced with the same tedious search for the right agent or publisher. lol. Is there any easier way with all this before my head spins off my neck?? lol What I wish I could find is a site where the PUBLISHER AND AGENT comes to YOU. lol
