I can say all the stuff about how far you made it and how much talent that shows you possess and demonstrates merit in the story. But, as you say, a gold star isn't a publishing contract. I hope you're going to query the story widely now.

I finally got my rejection letter from Harper Voyager (a year and ten days after submission). I made it to the top 400 out of 4700 manuscripts. That's an "A" I suppose or 1 in 10 if you want to look at the other 9 in 10 that got rejected before that moment.<br /><br />I consider myself an "A" writer and no doubt you are too. That means if we turned in an assignment for a teacher somewhere, we'd both get gold stars. But gold stars don't mean a publishing contract. It takes something even beyond a gold star to achieve that, and I've no idea what it is.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801207462566510326.post-67000855218532259492013-10-14T00:42:37.077-07:002013-10-14T00:42:37.077-07:00A big congrats, Theresa!
