• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Hello everyone! Thank you Katie-Ellen Hazeldine for lighting a fire under me. I'm from Kent, WA, and am in the process of finding an agent. I have seven rejections so far! Yay, me!
 
Welcome to Litopia. I hope you love it here and find help, support and inspiration, as I did and still do.
 
Hello:) Yay you, and I've so far had 3, with I think, 3 more to come. When I get a rejection I re-read my send out parcel, see if I can strengthen it, then send out again so I'll always have the same number out at any one time.
 
Hi Carrie

I wish I could count my agent rejections with mere fingers... You've a long way to go to match my levels of non-success in that process :)
 
Yeah, I know I have a long way to go. It's educational, way I see it. Honing the query and synopsis has become a daily ritual. I have 28 queries out and I'm thinking I'm going to add a couple more chapters...a new 1 and 2. Back to the drawing board. Good luck out there!
