I finally made the decision to invest in myself (rather than buy more goats, alpacas, or horses) and it was the best move! Writing a synopsis and query were like these two huge walls I couldn't (and didn't want to) scale. From first contact with David Duhr, I have been so pleased with the assistance I received. Alex Myers read my novel and very quickly provided drafts of both the synopsis & query. I also had a Zoom meeting with John Sibley Williams and he made me feel comfortable right away - and also recommended additional edits. I had already accumulated an extensive agent list, but David provided a few more. I've submitted to 45 agents so far, and am gradually getting responses. One agent requested the full manuscript within hours of submitting a query, and while it turned out to be a pass, it's very encouraging to get personal feedback, rather than a form letter. So far all nos, but about half have sent personal notes that are much appreciated -and I know those responses are due to the work done by the WBN staff. Still waiting to hear back from about 3/4 of the agents I submitted to and I will never give up!
Thank you so much!
