Ok, so I know it's been awhile, but I thought I'd let you know that I have a working title now for the book. It is called "Where's The Play?" 'Boys, baseball and the power of America's pastime' For those who have not read the drafts yet (which is nearly everyone), the saying, "Where's the Play?" is a pivotal part of the book and has great meaning. Hopefully, it translates well enough to someone who hasn't read the book too.???...???
Anyway, I have already sent in my first 'query letter' also and got my first REJECTION back...Ugh. Oh well, as one of my daughter's said, it just means I'm that much closer to the 'yes.' Letter! I have sent in another query letter, but don't have too much hopes on it, as it was an application you send in via their online template and I messed up when I did it online and submitted it before I could send in my contact info. I then had to resubmit w/my contact info. I'm sure this didn't look very good. I haven't heard back from them, but it's only been 10 days and they say if they like it that it will be at least 2 to 4 weeks before you'll hear from them (otherwise, you won't hear from them). We'll see. I will probably send some more query letters out in the next week just for fun and see what happens though. If I don't have any luck in the next couple months, I'll probably self-publish. That's it for now, gotta go! Wish me luck!
