I did all that work and he rejected me. The book was better by then, and I knew it, so I sent it to an agent that really impressed me..and she agreed to represent me. I ended up with a better agent than the guy who had asked me to revise it. Sometimes rejection is a good thing!Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-37972844992916710992014-01-31T02:14:03.307+02:002014-01-31T02:14:03.307+02:00I love homemade pizza.
