Another place, Another time…

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.
