I am here if you need anything. Are you going to try to get an agent? I know people who've said 2-300 rejections weren't uncommon. I know J.K. Rowling had a ton of rejections and now--an empire! There are alot of different publishing houses for your market, so hopefully you will find one you like! You should defintely have a blog! I would follow it!Christina Ayershttp://narratorwritinginmyhead.blogspot.com/2010/05/manila-envelopes-and-sharpies-as.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023450146998478735.post-84821587207244004552010-05-02T10:06:54.141-07:002010-05-02T10:06:54.141-07:00That's awesome, Christina!

One of my favorite author has an awesome blog where she gives new writer's tons of pointers, things to look out for, mistakes not to make when finding an angent/publisher, so I've been reading that a lot, as well as internet research, and a few books I've purchased to help me with the process. She also said she received about 100 rejection letters before her first acceptance letter, and she's now a NY Times best-selling author. <br /><br />I like this blog spot, I may have to make one of my own! <br /><br />To reiterate, I am so proud of you, and you are an amazing poet! Go get 'em tiger ;-) <br /><br />love, <br /><br />JeffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
