An aside here,
I just checked my book submission tracking website, and it APPEARS that my picture book is being considered! Ok, I KNOW it’s being considered, because it’s not in yesterday’s “reject” pile.
Without confusing you too much about how the web program works, let me explain that agents who LIKE a submission, typically set it aside to talk over with other agents at their company. Like a second opinion. Right now, my picture book is in the stack of “possibilities”!
While this could still mean a big fat “No Thanks” in a few days/weeks, it’s at least a bit of hope in this dreary process of trying to make it in the world of writing.
Pray that it finds a home with the right people!
