Well, I managed to send out one of my submissions today. A completed Christian romance that I am doing a little polishing on while I wait to hear back.
I have another query letter ready to go concerning a novel I wrote two years ago. I've only submitted it to one publisher~and it was rejected. I put it on the back burner for a while, trying to figure out exactly where this novel 'fits' in the Christian writing world.
Is it a cozy or a romantic suspense? That has been the question. I wrote it intending it to be a cozy, but, as many of you know, a novel has a way of taking on a life of it's own, and sometimes the writer is just along for the ride. All I know to do is to put it out there and see what happens.
I love writing these books and stories, but submitting them is always a challenge for me. I tend to write, rewrite, and the write again!
What about all of you? Do have projects out there being considered? How long, once you are completed with a project, does it take to really be 'ready' to send off to a publisher?

Send that book out again or start looking for an agent. Have you tried Hartline for an agent? Seems more and more publishers require them. Don't be discouraged--we are all in this together!
Hi, thanks for coming over and commenting on my site. My first time here. I don't have any submissions out right now, but want to send out my latest MG historical fiction out before the end of the year. I tend to edit a lot before sending anything off. Finding a publisher is the hardest thing about writing. I'm still unpublished, I write mostly children's picture books.
