Meep!

[annathepiper]

Meep #1: I have sent off another agency query letter. To an agency I've actually queried already, as it happens: the folks at Donald Maass. Since the first time I queried them they've actually picked up a new agent on their staff, and between that and my having put Faerie Blood through extensive revision since my first query, I'm hoping this might improve my chances of getting at least a small nibble of interest. And I figured, what the heck, it couldn't hurt. They take email queries, and having another agency query in the air while I'm waiting for Luna to get back to me is probably a good thing.

(On a related note, I actually got a snail mail form rejection letter from Nadia Cornier in the last week as well. Which was strangely baffling, since it came on her old agency letterhead, long after I'd already chatted with her in email and had been informed about her starting the new agency and not looking at SF/F right now. I suppose it's good to tie up one's loose ends, anyway, and that a rejection letter that's really just a confirmation of a rejection I'd already gotten doesn't count as a new rejection. So!)

Meep #2: I have two, count 'em, TWO phone interviews scheduled for tomorrow. This will make a total of three phone interviews since Friday. Here's hoping that at least one of these lands me an actual face-to-face interview if not an outright job offer!

Wish me luck, folks.

And on an utterly unrelated note, here, have a quiz!

Brainy Student 48% Tastefulness, 56% Originality, 30% Deliberateness, 18% Sexiness

[Tasteful Original Random Prissy] Your style is classic but not glamorous. You don't concentrate on clothes an awful lot, preferring to spend your time on more interesting matters. You don't want to look like everyone else and your probably take care to have a unique element or two in your outfits, just to emphasize your personality, but, on the other hand, you don't need too much attention paid to your looks. Believe it or not, fashion says some things about character. You're probably quite an intellectual and somewhat reserved. But your style is not bad. The opposite style from yours is Sex Bomb [Flamboyant Conventional Deliberate Sexy].

I still haven't gotten a rejection letter, which leaves me a little baffled too. I'm not completely sure if I'm still up for consideration or not, and I'm almost afraid to ask! :)

I suspect she may be so far behind on her submissions pile thanks to changing agencies. How long has it been since you sent your submission off?
