A Cry For Help
Monday, August 10, 2009
We are not heartless, we are really not, and we don't hate our job, and we don't hate writers, and we don't sit here rubbing our little hands together and cackling as we click "send" on the 104th form rejection of the week; we are a GOOD PERSON, swearz. But Jesus H, when you send us a query letter regarding your project which contains "14 stories 7 are XXX sexy.One outstanding lesbian love story of 10 pages called Giggles" it MAKES OUR HEAD BLOW UP. And then we can't say YES. To ANYONE.

After a query like that, you deserve a shot of whiskey! I'm sending you my virtual flask ASAP.
Maybe if Alan Moore's Lost Girls had come across your desk, I wouldn't have had to shelve it, then wander back to the safety of the children's section and whimper. I'm too disturbed by its description even to contemplate reading it.
This made me snort out loud, and then cry a little.
These people must be stopped. They're ruining it for the rest of us! :P
Thanks, you made my day. My head would blow up too.
Dear Rebecca, we have recovered, and will treat your query with the respect and attention it deserves. We appreciate your concern.
If 7 of them are "XXX" what are the other 7?
