Speedy Rejection

melusine

I posted a query letter, sysopsis and 10 pages of my manuscript to Gregory and Co. on Sunday night at 10.15.
I received a rejection e-mail the next day at 11.18. Is this a record?

That's one good thing about email submissions, Mel (mind if I call you that?) - there's no slush pile and they can often be dealt with same day. If you were going to be accepted, they would have asked you for more, possibly taking a day or two longer while staff found time to compare notes.

Good luck with your next try.

Jenny

Better luck next time!

best to know sooner rather than later ... gives you a chance to send it to someone who will appreciate it!
Best of luck.

Hi, Melusine. Welcome to Talkback. Why not introduce yourself on a new thread under Welcome Writers?

Carol

Hello.
Sorry to hear you got a no, but at least it wasn't after months and months of waiting.

No rejection is good, but at least you've had an answer and can try subbing elsewhere.

Sorry to hear that melusine, I sent a submission to the same agency on Tue and am waiting to hear back. Hope your no isn't a bad omen.
