And Off To Query

Back from my betas Excite is ready to be sent out to agents. I hadn't planned on this book doing really anything. I hadn't even really played with editing it until I offered to beta for another writer and they asked if I wanted to swap. It was the only thing of a similar length finished so I figured why not. Now my baby is ready to step into the world. 

Sort of. I have to figure out synopsis writing and that feels monumental. I got the query letter down, and that felt easy compared to a synopsis. I have a draft, but shrinking the novel to just 600 or so words is proving just as hard as I imagined. 

For better or worse (or impatient-ness) I have already queried a few agents who do not ask for a synopsis in the initial contact. It may come back to bite me if one responds quickly asking for one, but most I’ve chosen so far have timelines of 6+ weeks to hear anything back. 

My next batch of queries will require that synopsis, but for now I’m happy to see a few ‘SENT’s on my agents list.
