No. The process is slow enough as it is.
I sent out five queries this week. So far, one rejection, one request for partial, and three I haven't heard back from yet. About five more will go out next week. No sense in standing still. It could be as much as two months before I hear back on the partial.
Hmm, now that could be an interesting idea for a story. I've wanted to do a cyber-punk story...now wouldn't that be a kick, my first book published is cyber-punk.
Anyway, Good. I forget who said it now, OSC or DWS maybe, anyway five is suppose to be a good number. And looks like I was right about someone wanting it.
Could I have the name of that agent in six months?

Well, yeah. But you should remember that an agent that's appropriate for a middle grade second world fantasy, might not be the best choice for an urban fantasy or cyberpunk.

Oops, wrong book. I was thinking Mage Storm was urban...duh. Too many titles running around in my head at the moment.

To use a modern cliche You go Girl. The idea is good, and from what very little I have read the writing isn't bad either so you will find a home for it.

A few years ago my local paper had an article about a local writer. It had taken him over two years to get a publisher to look at his novel but it was eventually picked up and published, his second took a matter of weeks but the reason for the article was that the first book that had taken him so long to get published won an award for writing.
