When you've sent out 70 query letters (yep, I said 70) and find out that in the letter you've been sending you've put the word "revels" instead of "reveals". That's right, in my book Flora "revels" to Charlotte that she has a sister.
And in the next paragraph, I tell them that I have a BA in English. Uh-huh.
As I was hyperventilating on the verge of tears, Faiyaz casually observed, "Maybe that's why you keep getting rejections."
At least I've given a lot of literary agents something to laugh at.
My current rejection count is 22.
This is why you ALWAYS get someone else to proofread for you!
