It is a question of one, just one, of them liking your work, so folks don’t give up.

If your writing is already good, it may be that the story isn’t marketable or that your voice will never be the right one to tell it.

Start over. Write something entirely different, something that suits your voice and personality and writing style and perhaps is more commercial.

Just my two bits, but bits based on experience.

Good Luck.

I recommend you pick up Donald Maass’s WRITING THE BREAKOUT NOVEL, which covers the elements of “big books.” I would also recommend reading several “big books” and dissecting them.

That said, not all books can be “big books.” The agents who are giving you this feedback could be saying you need to raise the stakes for your protagonist, or maybe there aren’t enough plot twists or danger. Are you involved in a critique group? Mine is priceless.

Good for Greece for coming through first on AJ’s novel!

Thanks for sharing it. And now that he’s learned what works for him and for the market, he can revisit the older manuscripts and make them work, too.

Agent rejection came in the mail today after she read a partial. Very cordial letter but again, “not passoniate” about the story and “I didn’t fall in love with it.”

I’m desperate enough to spend several thousands with an “editor” to find the flaw in the story. Everyone says the writing is good.

You’ve picked me up, dusted me off, and put me back in the game.

Writers also tend to forget how much rejection the agents receive, too.
