‘Nother rejection today. Kristin Nelson liked the first two pages when I read them aloud at the conference, but I got this note in my e-mail today: “You have a lot of talent. Ultimately I’m just an agent who leans a bit more commercial in her literary tastes. I know I’m not going to have the right vision for a work this literary.”
It’s another example of how subjective agents’ taste in manuscripts can be. My last rejection said the work was too commercial and not literary enough. So, onward! Out there somewhere is a bear that’s the right size for this bowl of porridge.
