Well done on the words,
Saoirse! And
lindz, don't be discouraged. I lost track of how many versions of my query letter I had to do. I burned it down and built it up probably a dozen times, no joke. It is HARD to write a good query.
Today I finished my revision. (Yeah, I'm surprised, too!) I wrote up a high-level summary of what had changed, and sent the whole kit and kaboodle to my agent. There is one point I'm still hesitant about, so I fully expect to hear back about that. I think the rest of it, though, is not in awful shape at this point.
Apart from the fact that I hate every word of it, of course.
