I'm still waiting on word from the publishers who have partials and fulls. Now that the holiday season is over, the responses are likely to come. I wonder how many responses will arrive from those publishers to whom I only sent queries.
I have gone through this before with agents, and everyone seems to have their own way of saying no. IMO, a simple "not for me" or "doesn't fit" is a cool rejection. But I don't buy it when they say things like, "the writing isn't there yet." Since I have an agent and a contract in hand, that's all the proof I need to believe my writing is "there." So when an agent or editor implies otherwise, I know to take it with a grain of salt. These agents or editors probably didn't even read the material. That's OK, just spare me the BS, that's all.
