Do you know how many successful and famous writers had their first manuscript rejected? Their name is legion. Hang in there, Tonya, and sooner or later, you will find an editor who will recognize and appreciate your talent. Add me to the list of those who are ready and eager to read your novel!

Don't get discouraged, Tonya. In college I interned for some agents who love dealing with first novels and some agents who feel like it takes a couple tries to really get the novel thing perfect. So getting an agent who loves your first novel is an accomplishment in and of itself.

And while we all read books that we like but don't love, you really do want to have an editor who is totally in love with your book and will be a great advocate within the publishing company and outside it. You can really tell when an editor is excited about a book they're working on and I do think it makes a difference. I'm sure you'll get there in time--your book just needs to find its way into the hands of the perfect person. :)

I would read your book! And the Cedar Lake thing sounds awesome. I've worked with members of Cedar Lake II (which no longer exists) and theyre dang amazing. Have fun (if you can remember it)

Aw, please don't be discouraged! You've come so far, and should be proud to say that you got a manuscript finished! I know so many people who have attempted books and never even got to the end!
