Reasonable Rejection - Part Deux!

One thing to watch out for, following yesterday's post:

If you can, avoid unnecessarily irritating editors, publishers and agents by making public your opinion about them.

It doesn't matter that you speak the truth when you say Agents couldn't recognise the no. 14A if it ran over them, let alone a good story - they don't like it, and they take it out on me! I mean, on whoever is foolish enough to talk about them in public (be it on a soapbox or - em - on the web).


Tomorrow, I may discuss this topic further...

    have agents been attacking you for your posts? Shame on them!

    I heard tell of a published author today who was looking for an agent for her new book, and none of the agents she submitted to even sent her a reply, so I guess there are sometimes worse things that getting a rejection - getting no reply!
