I wouldn't worry about. Start from scratch, find a new agent, and once you are on-board, let them know the editors who saw it. They were likely the wrong editors, based on your comments. Your agent can try someone else at the house...especially if you give the work a new title!Andrew Zackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05197397967230568125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15229242.post-18122456977645273432008-05-30T08:17:00.000-07:002008-05-30T08:17:00.000-07:00Thanks, Zack, for the good advice. My first book is wonderful but was presented to publishing houses (3), where it was rejected because they didn't publish literary fiction. The editors took the time to praise both the writing and story. I'm trying to handle my separation in a professional way. I'm polishing my second novel now. I happened to believe it's an even better book because I learned so much from writing the first one. I will start fresh. We live and learn. <BR/><BR/>ThanksAnn Hitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17249268908638339927noreply@blogger.com
