I'm so excited right now, that I can barely type! I sent a query letter directly to the publisher that I had in mind for my YA novel a couple of days ago. On Monday, to be precise. I was expecting a long wait to see if they would be interested in seeing a synopsis, a few pages or the full manuscript, but they wrote back today! And.....
They are asking for the FULL manuscript! Whoot! I can not believe it!
The only problem is, they say that it might be two years before the book would be published.
So, now it's decsion time. Do I send the manuscript and see if they want to publish it, or do I go through all the mess of trying to get an agent to hawk my story to other publishers? I'm not going to do anything right away, but just knowing that I have a bite, my first try out, makes me very very happy and very encouraged.
I'm still a little stunned.
