Currently, I have a manuscript being slaughtered by agents (form rejections). The topic is about boogers. So, I've decided to try the agent route then submit to publishers. I won't give up until the entire publishing world tells me no. <br /><br />Thanks for the inspiration!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01301069401503659531noreply@blogger.com
