Congrats, guys! Things seem to be happening...

I got my contract tonight! **wiping sweat from brow** It looks good--very standard, at least to my untrained eye.

Just saw this. No word, but it hasn't been 12 weeks yet either, barely 4, and their FB page says they are slowing down for the holidays. Maybe they'll read, though. I sent them my YA Steampunk Historical Fantasy/Fairy Tale Retelling/ With bits of Romance manuscript.

I also have a full out that the agent has had since summer, so I'm waiting to hear from both.

Thanks, guys! The wait gave me time to do some suggested editing/tightening. I trimmed it down to 98,000 words so far, with 180 pages left to go.

I spoke with Terrie and she is an abosolute pleasure. Very nice, smart person and I think anyone would be lucky to be repped by her.

About my book. She really liked it and had some revision ideas and stuff. Just talked about the book, what I looked for in an agent, how she liked to work etc.

I just got my response for Terri. It is a R and R. She did have a lot of nice things to say about my MS and my writing .. but she feels it could use a bit of editing. *rushes to find her red pen*

Just curious - how long was everyone's turn-around on querying Terrie? I queried on 11/22 and haven't heard back.

Ether, I would send her a note. Her computer crashed around then. She might have lost your email.

I queried her on the 6th of January and haven't heard anything. But I'm okay with that. I like to believe that no news is good news.

Nya, she seems to have about a three - four week wait on inital query requests....atleast when I sent mine in... it might be longer now.

Since that day it's been radio silence.
On the plus side I have had three other requests from 2 old and 1 new query round. (1 f 2 p)
Still, I had so much hope for this one. Sigh. Not sure what to think at this point...
How's the r & r going?

I haven't started yet I wanted wait a bit before starting, to kind of let the note set in and think of ways to fix what she said. Then, I got a sinus infection I will be starting it this week.

Thanks. I know it's the first stage of querying, but I'm hoping it will lead to more.
