I sent my first queries!

Wednesday, September 16, 2009, 07:23 AM PST [General]

I sent my first queries yesterday. Some of them I e-mailed. When I checked my e-mail the very next day, I was shocked to see that I had already received a response, and they are requesting to view my entire manuscript!

I certainly was not expecting for them to respond so quickly. When I clicked on the message I was expecting to see an automated response. Needless to say I almost fell out of my chair when I saw that they were requesting the entire manuscript. I feel like a child on Christmas morning.:)
