June: Subs & Queries
Posted on June 1, 2010
Filed Under Queries, novels, submissions |
So far since I started to submit again and sent out nine queries for Panix, I’ve gotten back two story rejections from big markets and two form query rejections. Nathan Bransford actually sent me two form query rejections in two days after I emailed them out. That’s fast turnaround time.
I’ve got about five short story submissions out and will add another five to those by the end of the month. I’ve got some rewriting to do. I went back through my WIP and there is some stuff to send out. Unfortunately, my short story style is a bit too light and breezy for most markets.
I pulled out Motes & Meddles and did a quick read through, changing a few POV errors and toning up the grammar. I still have to sketch out the novel. I think I’ve written the set-up. I’ve got to get the character with more skin in the game and I think I’ve found out how to do it. I only need to write twice again what I’ve written to get the length up. I do think the concept is more marketable… sort of an contemporary fantasy-thriller.
