They said no, and so did another. I like the ones who give me reasons. But the people on Webook.com, they like it. I just don’t know what do to make it better. The readers like it. The publishers reject it. Okay, I’ll give you an inside look at my inbox.
My Email Inbox:
This has vague overtones of the Uglies series by Scott Westerfield--close
Enough, in my opinion, to not be marketable.
…
Thank you for your recent e-mail. I regret to say that I don't feel
that I'm the most appropriate agent for your work.
However, opinions vary considerably in this business, and I wish you the
best of luck in your search for representation.
…
I’ll pass on the opportunity to pursue, but thank you for thinking of me and best of luck on your agent search.
…
But look hear at my webook messages about the same story
Wow. The title caught my attention well. It looks really good!
…
10000000 Stars!
Anyway This Was Really Good. Stellar Beginning Btw!
Can't Wait For Next Chapter!
…
i like it , i have always had a thing for books about the future, it puts some kind of hope into someone, you know. And your characters are awesome, i like Angela a lot, even if this is only the first chapter. I will be reading more. Keep it up!
…
ENTERESTING - this a hybrid word I just made up, it's a combination of interesting, and entertaining, Unique no?
…
This is sooo good. It is very different to every other story I have read. I think maybe you should add something about Angela's scenery because she accepted the city life too quickly. Otherwise, great story!
…
Brilliant, Insanely awesome, I can't even begin to describe how amazing I thought this chapter was, it just needs to be polished up, but other than that it was incredible, so I have no choice but to go on and read the next chapter right now.
…
I'm the first to make it to the end of this story, so I feel I should have something profound to tell you, but I don't, so I'll just write what comes to mind.
Now that I have reached the end, and seen the story come full circle I believe that you have a great idea here, It's a story that really has a lot of potential, And it looks as if you've left it pretty open ended, so I really hope you write a second book with these characters that continues the story. Also I really like the characters, they are well thought out, and it feels like each one has there own unique personality due to the background they came from. Happy Writing c ya, and just know that this is the longest feedback i've ever left anybody
…
All I can say is wow. That was amazing.
I have to admit, I was intrigued at first, but I kept putting off reading it because I was lazy. :)
When I finally did, I couldn't stop. It was addicting, and I had to finish it. Even when I wasn't online I could stop thinking about reading some more.
The plot was great, and I loved the characters. I think a sequel would great, because the epilogue left me hanging, a little.
I did find some spelling errors, but nothing I couldn't understand.
You've got a talent, and I look forward to reading more of your works!
…
I think people like it, and I added more and spellchecked since the comments. I just don’t know how to make the publishers want it. I know It’s not perfect, but they haven’t even looked at it it yet. I wish they would tell me how I could make it better specifically. Most just send standard rejection letter to query.
There was this one really nice lady who sent me a really long, kind, rejection letter. Maybe I should ask her how to make it better, but that would probably seem unprofessional. I need someone to tell me how to make it better, because I do not know.
