Literary Update

In the last week, I've sent out a number of query letters by email to literary agents, and now can confidently claim to be have been rejected with almost all of the various ways of being rejected.  Heh.
 
What I mean is that, aside from never being told my writing sucked, the agents have variably said that they don't handle my genre, they can't get excited about it, they can't get a commercial pulse from it (whatever that means), they aren't taking new clients, or a similar rejection.  I even have one in writing that is the worst form letter - it lists every possible reason for rejection in paragraph form, precluding even a check mark next to the most likely reason.
 
The one plus thus far has been one agency who, while not accepting me now, welcome a second chance to look at my "interesting synopsis" later this fall, when they take on new clients.
 
Have no fear, however.  I plan on continuing my hunt for an agent to represent A True Gator Party.
