Hello all!
I'm so excited - it's a rejection, but I'm still SO excited.
I sent off a query email to a major national woman's glossy - and I heard back from the editor an HOUR LATER!
She told me that she loved my idea, but unfortunately they already had a series based on my idea coming out this summer - and that was good news b/c it meant I understood the kinds of articles they were looking for, and to please pitch her again.
From everything I've read - I thought I'd either:
1. Have to wait forever to hear anything back
2. Possibly not ever hear anything back
So the fact that the editor from a major, hugely popular women's glossy responded so fast, and asked me to pitch again - well, that's great news right?
Never thought I'd be excited about a rejection - but, here I am, doing a happy dance, lol.
Please someone validate me, lol!
