A Full Manuscript request for' Echoes of a Storm'
As you know I have been sending 'Echoes' out to various publishing houses and guess what? I've had a full manuscript request from the second company I sent it to : )
Obviously, I am grinning from ear to ear : ) but under all that excitement I am telling myself to calm down as there is a long, long way to go and the chance of rejection is still very high.
However, for tonight only I am just going to enjoy the fact that I got a Full Manuscript request. Below is the email and for fairness sake I have blanked the company name.
From: Editors xxxxxxx
