So very helpful!!! I sent *50* queries out this week. Crazy, I know, but I just wasn’t sure if I had the patience to do it any other way. (So, I hope my letters were good! But, my very first one got a manuscript request, so that seems positive.) Anyway, *now* I feel okay to wait and see what happens over the next 4–6 weeks. (Fingers crossed.) I’ll be returning to this article if/when the offer comes in. ;-)
