| Thanks, everyone. Being realistic, I think it will be weeks before I hear anything more, but it's such a wonderful feeling knowing that an agent and a publisher are looking at your work. _________________ Jenny Writing as Victoria Howard

| I've just looked up Sourcebooks they seems like a established publisher. Shame I don't have anything to fit their needs.
All ther best with the submission, Jenny. _________________ Heads and Tales out now! http://www.lulu.com/karina-kantas |

| About half an hour ago, I received another request for a partial - this time from The Steele-Perkins Literary agency.
Brenda, I have to say a huge thank. If it hadn't been for your advice on re-structing chapter one of my manuscript, none of this interest would be possible. I now have three agents and one publisher all interested in reading more.
If you're reading this post, and have suffered rejection in the past, but think you're WIP is worthy of publication, I would recommend Brenda's service and suggest you have your first chapter reviewed by her for a small fee, as I did. It's worth every cent and you certainly won't regret it.
Brenda, you're worth your weight in gold! _________________ Jenny Writing as Victoria Howard

| Jenny what a great compliment and referral. Brenda's instruction on query letters have also been extremely helpful. There are some real gems in this forum and I am really grateful you guys don't stay hidden away!
Kudos to Jenny on breaking through and to Brenda for providing guidance that is producing results! 
You ladies are walking the talk! _________________ Pam Robertson  http://andthebandplayedonmylawn.blogspot.com |

| Jenny, I send thanks back to you. What a nice thing to say. Usually my clients prefer anonymity so I keep silent, but it's so wonderful to hear words of praise. We all need them at times.  _________________ www.brendahill.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Cu6YeS9_Ro |

| Well folks, since making this post I've received another request for a partial from Verna Dreisbach. And not only that, Pam Strickler has asked to read the whole manuscript.
Guess who's doing a happy dance???  _________________ Jenny Writing as Victoria Howard

| Thanks, Shelagh.
I know I'm in for a long wait before anything else happens, but it's good to know that my query letter has caught people's attention. Here's hoping the manuscript does too! _________________ Jenny Writing as Victoria Howard
