Book Number 4 - First Full Manusript Requests

After writing a book a year for the last four years, I have finally had a full manuscript request, well seven full manuscript requests to be exact. This is the second YA novel i have completed, I have also written two middle grade manuscripts and I can't describe how great it feels to have any kind of positive feedback after countless form rejections. One does start to doubt if there will ever be a light at the end of the tunnel.

Please don't think I am getting ahead of myself here, I realize this is the first step of many on the often uncertain and arduous road to publication but it is a start and I have always been one to believe in the power of counting your blessings.

Good luck to everyone else out there who is submitting at the moment. It is not an easy process but I hope you are successful, and if you are not, that you have enough belief in yourself and your ideas to continue.

Thanks so much, means a lot coming from my fellow writers. Best of luck to you both too

Thank you, fingers firmly crossed full requests turn into an offer! Best of luck to you all.

Thanks, I'm following Walt Disney's advice 'Keep Moving Forward'. A big part of success is determination and perseverance. If you are thinking about giving up, remember the best is yet to come

Thanks so much! I'm up to eight full requests now but I know it's still a one in a million chance. The hard work and nail biting has only just begun ... Best of luck to everyone else out there submitting!
