It will find a home, keep telling yourself that and don't give up. I know you are procrastinating...but in the meantime - start another one! <br /><br />~JDJEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12390400360357693403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179540938463830608.post-48851571977464418282010-02-13T19:15:10.952-06:002010-02-13T19:15:10.952-06:00I agree with those above: It shouldn't hurt yo...I agree with those above: It shouldn't hurt you with other agents at all. <br /><br />I submitted to Query Shark, but she didn't bite.

No, ser...Learn to fight the paranoia...WITH SWORDS! No, seriously though, just make every effort you can to dispel the thoughts. It's worth the help, and I severely doubt any agents will bone you over because of it. And even if they do, remember what I said elsewhere. And if you think 107 is bad, if I set Query Tracker to "Fiction - Mystery and Fiction - Crime/Detective/Police" it comes up with 62. Technically mine's a mystery because, well, it involves a mystery, but we could call it just plain old crime fiction. Doing that, it turns up 89. And those are just totals. Not even looking at those who accept unsolicited, etc. etc. etc. Like I said on the forums, just gotta buck up and keep on fighting.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07953964286604287597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179540938463830608.post-48929260093942948812010-02-13T15:56:35.079-06:002010-02-13T15:56:35.079-06:00Paranoia strikes.

Plus, if you look at it in the positive light, that if you hadn't gotten the help, they could have rejected you cause your query sucked before, then you can see that it was worth getting the help from the shark...Tiffany Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13843374938222817346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179540938463830608.post-75384858626643313782010-02-13T13:39:51.583-06:002010-02-13T13:39:51.583-06:00I think you will be fine!

No matter if they have seen your query or not, they will take a great ms. When you do get an agent, you can laugh at how scared you were at first. It will make a great read for your fans!Alleged Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869021184116123477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179540938463830608.post-4352698938952109192010-02-13T12:38:08.529-06:002010-02-13T12:38:08.529-06:00I read Query Shark, and though I'm not an agen...I read Query Shark, and though I'm not an agent, I see a lot of potential and talent on there. No one's query is perfect in its first draft. It would be dumb for agents to reject a nice query just because they had seen its evolution. We all start somewhere. You're just a braver writer who happened to display yours publicly (and I hope to join you sometime.) As long as you make it clear that you take Janet's advice in mind and are willing to edit -- and even better, share those edits -- it won't reflect negatively on you. In fact, I think it does the opposite. ;)Shelley Slyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07981620646634240160noreply@blogger.com
