Received a reply from an agent I submitted a manuscript to recently. Her comment made me think about the types of stories kids want to read. She said my story was sweet, but that publishers weren’t looking for that type of story. I’m hoping that what she said isn’t true. I hope that publishers still want a variety of stories.
After feeling a bit discouraged from the first agent, I heard from a second agent about the same story. She was interested and wanted to see more of my work. So, what have I learned from this experience? Keep doing what I do best – writing stories that come from the heart.
