We've all been rejected and taken it personally, and thought "man, maybe our work is just crap!" <BR/><BR/>OR...maybe the agent is just having a bad day. Or already has too many clients doing that kind of story. Or maybe she just flat out doesn't like voodoo-lovin' football players. Who knows! <BR/><BR/>Just like love, there really is something for everyone!!!Kimberly Dertinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00368511542359560174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807893309080538464.post-81658417407894127982009-02-27T07:57:00.000-08:002009-02-27T07:57:00.000-08:00My first agent (whom I adored and was so very swee...My first agent (whom I adored and was so very sweet and encouraging) absolutely HATED the book that became LOVE, MEG - like visceral hate. She even wrote me a loooong letter describing how much hate she had for the book and added that she understood if I wanted to look for other representation. I was devastated -until I found my current agent who loved it and sold it. Even when you HAVE an agent, you get rejected!Leigh Purtillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00477635525179050959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807893309080538464.post-77042587618051636082009-02-26T12:47:00.000-08:002009-02-26T12:47:00.000-08:00What a great story!
