I have finally completed my first children's book and submitted it to two different agents with a proposal for two further book ideas. Needless to say the standard rejections arrived quickly and in close succession. Although, It hurt less than I thought it would (not trying to put a brave face on it- honest!) it has raised a few questions and I thought I would seek some advice from fellow mnetters as to what to do next.
Do the rejections mean that it's just not good enough and therefore I need to amend my ms/ book proposal/ covering letter before sending it out again? Or shall I just send it to a few more agents as it stands and see how it goes? After tirelessly researching the W and A yearbook my POA was to exhaust the appropriate agents and then move onto the publishers- Is this the best route to take? Any advice or hand holding through this very scary process would be greatly appreciated.
