Just catching up the stats once more. Things have been extra-busy this summer and I didn’t realize just how many weeks had passed since I’d last updated this.
I see a lot of submissions each week but little requests for partials/fulls. Is this because the writer sent you requests in the wrong genre or simply poorly written submissions.
Wow. The query wars have always interested me. Thanks for continuing to post them!
