I've scrolled through some of the threads and I guess I should preface with I'm tired of rejections- but I'm still chugging.
I'd say my query letter is solid, and my book is good. On my very first query, to Merilee Heifetz, she asked for my full and was very complimentary with her rejection. I have several super annoying stories like that, the old 'I like the premise and the writing is good and I still don't want it' rejections. I hate those.
The point is, is that my book straddles several different things. It's sort of urban fantasy, more like soft sci-fi, the tropes are inverted- I just feel like no one wants to take a chance on it, no matter how well written. Like I just need to find the right person. I don't want to compromise and change the core of my writing to get an agent, you know?
