I heard back from that big agent in New York, and unfortunately, he passed. But to be completely honest, this ‘rejection’ didn’t bother me. Of course, it would have been absolutely amazing if he wanted to represent me, but he was such a big-time agent that my chances were incredibly slim to begin with. I went for it, though, and I’m still smiling at the fact that he chose to give up his valuable time to read Wormwood’s entire manuscript. What an incredible compliment!
And it gets better. Although he told me that all in all, the book wasn’t really for him, he had nothing but nice things to say about the story and my writing. And I’ll always remember that he called me “an energetic and creative writer.”
So should I call this a ‘rejection’? Alright, it still is. But honestly, I really think I could do a whole lot worse.
And by the way, I’m only getting started here, so don’t think that one nice rejection will set me back in the slightest. Agents, prepare to meet Wormwood!
