So today is going to be a numbers post about how trying to find a publisher is going. These numbers are after being on submission for about a month and a half–I sent the first queries out on September 7.
Total queries to publishing companies sent–33
Rejections–4
Number of queries through Submittable–14
Number of queries through QueryManager–1
Number of contests entered–10
Number of publishers I still plan to send to–14
Queries to agents–0
By the time I send out to everybody on my list, it will have been on submission for a year.
I am trying to give this book its best chance to get published I can. That’s why I’m sending it far and wide within the parameters I mentioned in an earlier post. No use in sending it to people who don’t publish what I’ve got. So we will see where things go from here.
Wish me well. Happy writing!
