Actually I had another factor in my favor -- I got as far as a request for a full with this agent on my last completed novel. She said at the time that she liked my writing and that it was a very hard decision to pass on my book. So I had a bit of a track record with her, and also was able to open my query by saying, more or less,"remember your critique of my last book -- well, I kept it in mind as I wrote this one." I'm sure that helped . . . Thank you, John.

Great news. That means two things: first, that you wrote a pretty good query letter, and second, that your premise (at least) has sales potential. That IS exciting and fun! (And I'm jealous!) John Outstanding! Great news. That means two things: first, that you wrote a pretty good query letter, and second, that your premise (at least) has sales potential.

That IS exciting and fun! (And I’m jealous!)
