TOPIC: INVITE TO SUBMIT AGAIN IN 2011.

The last of the query submissions for The Price of Freedom have finally run their course and this one rejection was a bit of a surprise.

From the Spiridon Literary Agency:

"I’m glad you’ve a project you feel so positive about. But from a publishing perspective, it is best to wait until the book is complete before approaching an agent. An agent is someone who tries to sell an already complete book to publishers. You need to finish writing this, revise it, and make sure it is in top form before submitting to agents. A few years is a long time. When it’s complete, you can query again if you like based on what is done.

Thanks again and best wishes."

I just hope that Alethea doesn't mind when it comes back nearly three times the current word count amount. (Of course, I'm not planning on submitting this book again until after I get The Starchild up and running. I'll need the extra funds to help with the editing of POF.)

I still have lots to do with the book. :0)
