#7 Rejected

I received a rejected letter for #7 (snail mail query with 1-3 page synopsis sent 1/16). You can uncross your fingers. They didn't care that I was a fan of one of their authors, nor did they like my query. I got a form rejection letter (I've now come to despise my own handwriting) in the SASE I sent in with my query. It came back awfully fast! Only a week to get from here to New York, be read, and come back again...
