C.J. Miller

I didn't get a request (for a partial or full). The editor mentioned I could make some revisions and send in a query/ synopsis. And I found out the response time for queries is 3 months, meaning the one I sent in January was probably lost. Like Dora in Little Nemo, "keep swimming, keep swimming."

The editors at Silhouette Desire selected my log line, along with eight others, to pitch on Wednesday. I was thrilled to be chosen and my friends and family got a "THEY PICKED ME!" email on Friday, no further explanation needed. Lots of exciting possibilities - a request for a partial or a full (!) followed by a personalized rejection (advice to improve) or offer of publication (The Call). I am trying to keep my hopes under wraps, but I'm a writer and my imagination routinely runs wild.
