Well, that sure was quick. In about seven hours, I got a rejection from Scott Hoffman at Folio Lit.
What was so dreadful that he immediately rejected the novel? Did he read the opening line and decide? Did he scroll through and check the bio first? Not published, not even in the press - forget it, he might have said.
And here I was prepared for a couple of month wait. He did not even have to think it over, apparently, since he must have hated MANUSCRIPT from the start. Too busy to offer editorial comment, he said in his form rejection, which must indicate he did not read much at all before deciding. Can't offer editorial comment without reading the stuff first, right?
As much as we all hate the wait, sometimes the instant response is worse.
