It's so nice when you expect that you've received yet another rejection letter but in actuality are being told that your manuscript has made the final cut for a press's annual list and they just want to know if it's being considered elsewhere.
I know better than to get my hopes up. This is a manuscript that has garnered attention at multiple presses (it won second place in a national contest for goodness sake!) but has not yet received a contract for publication.
Still: you know what a nice birthday I'll have if I wind up getting pregnant *and* getting a book contract? Hell, one of the two would make my year.
Sweet!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! That's great news about the manuscript. I'll be hoping for good outcomes with both your upcoming ventures.
