No go from The Wild Rose Press

I had a very long email from Susan Yates of The Wild Rose Press. It was a rejection of the partial I had sent her. Obviously very disappointing. But she did take the trouble to explain at some length what it was about my novel "In Hills of Gold" she found problems with. And in a week, when I have got over the initial pouting, I will look closely at the manuscript again and see exactly where the problems lie. She also included links to articles that further explain and assist with the problem areas in my writing. That is pretty good for an editor, to go that extra mile to assist a potential author. I wish she had said yes, but a long helpful reply is still a good response..

Request for partial

I've had an email tonight from Susan Yates of The Wild Rose Press for the 1st 3 chapters of my NZ Historical romance "In Hills of Gold". So I've changed them to US spelling, gone over them with a fine tooth comb, and sent the partial off. Now to wait - all toes and fingers very much crossed and everything inside me too scared to hope.
We'll see.
