But editorial assistants, who actually are the ones who read submissions, are super busy and rarely have time! They toss notes and interns who usually send them out.

We interviewed Lisa recently too, so be sure to stop by and check it out!

I almost wish something had been personalized after all the time I spent writing my query. Even if it was “this book is crap”, lol

Have you got any interesting ones, Elaine?

Thanks for stopping by Heather! I’m glad that you agree with my philosphy, it certainly helps in handling those rejections. Are you an aspiring writer? I’m glad you like the covers! My cover artist does a great job! 🙂
