Give It Up
I was wondering – at what point do you give up on a mss? I’ve had an agent since earlier this year and she’s been sending around my mss but has gotten rejections – nice ones – but still rejections. I don’t email her often but the last couple times that I have she hasn’t responded – I’m guessing she’s losing the love. Anyway – is there like a set number of submissions you might make before you give up? And when you give up – what’s your advice to the writer? Do you just put the book away for a little while or do you just tell the writer to forget about it?
Agent X answers this question. Of course, chief among her answer is the ever-important “Whatever you do, don’t take it personally.”
