And I'm working on my query (implementing your awesome advice) as we speak - thanks so much for being so generous and helpful!Sara D'Spainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952580392720011593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809343867197930371.post-33096391992064598922012-04-14T21:43:59.062-04:002012-04-14T21:43:59.062-04:00First off, thank you, Ms. Barnes! You were phenome...First off, thank you, Ms. Barnes! You were phenomenally patient and supportive with we clingy scribblers. In fact, this was the first conference I've walked away from with more information than anxiety. <br /><br />Having a mediocre pitch session really takes the pressure off and I could focus on all those talking-word thingies. I'm gleefullly passing your good counsel on to my peeps. Thanks, again, for answering questions your presentation fairly covered, for patiently repeating (re-repeating) for those committed to debating and mostly for being a good sport about answering agent questions that had little (nothing) to do with your insightful talk. You're aces. <br /><br />Btw, I find Querytracker an excellent tool for organization without re-inventing the wheel. Spreadsheets/Excel give me gas, just saying. Best of all, it's free.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809343867197930371.post-51011904326424642602012-04-13T22:51:31.392-04:002012-04-13T22:51:31.392-04:00Question about the "no bueno": Agent req...Question about the "no bueno": Agent requests material at conference, but you've realized after the great lessons learned there, your stuff is not ready. Same agent in panel says, "Take your time, make it right before you submit it. No matter, twelve weeks or twelve months." <br /><br />Is there an expiration date on request?spruntyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16514135828264486729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809343867197930371.post-67362042395119633982012-04-13T11:30:22.757-04:002012-04-13T11:30:22.757-04:00Thanks so much for all these posts.
