Bitch Track: Sorry this is so late – but after losing two teeth at a baseball game, it took us a visit to the E.R., and a dentist before I was able to get my 8yr. old home and spoil him with T.L.C. Most of us are parents, so I know you’ll understand.
Bliss Track: Agent Shop was more successful than I could have hoped…
Well, the agents week to shop is up. Pitches are down, and the doors are closed. For now.
So, here’s the skinny:
Out of fourteen different agent blogs/websites, I compiled a mean average of 98% rejection rates. OUCH!
So the good news is, the pitches that came in must have been pretty darn good.
Out of thirty pitches, there were:
1 – Full request
11 - Partials
That’s much higher than 98%.
OUTSTANDING!
You’ve all been so kind with your thanks and appreciation, and we at MuseTracks couldn’t be happier.
As a matter of fact, just for the fun of it, we’re going to hold a contest for next months pitch session.
I’ll post the contest on June 19th. It’s pretty simple. The post will contain a prompt – or short idea of a story. You can imagine the story goes any direction/sub genre of raomance you’d like, funny, scary, or anything in between. For the contest, I’d like you to write a 50 word blurb for that story.
The best one – voted on by MuseTracks members – wins…. AN AUTOMATIC IN FOR THE NUMBER ONE SPOT in the next pitch session.
So that’s it. Glad you all could make it. As always, the Agents attending will be posted the week before the session and the rules are the same. Hope to see you all back on July 5th.
In the meantime – keep writing.

Wow, 11 partials? That is incredible! Congrats to everyone!!!
Hey Jessica,
I know – that’s what I said.
Maybe next session we’ll see yours up here? If you’re switching to S.T. Bridegroom should be ready to pitch soon right? LOL. No pressure.
Thanks for stopping by.
This has been amazing!:) I know I said it the last time I posted, but thank you for offering this! And for whoever got the request for the COMPLETE, a special congratulations:)
Lo
Thanks Loretta,
We are very happy for everyone!
And the complete request was double lucky. She received a partial as well!!!
Good luck to everyone with the agents, we really had a wonderful group visiting.
Any way you could give us a hint as to the genre’s the agents are looking for?
I’d hate to waist anyone’s time if they aren’t looking for my category.
er- waste. ((head desk))
Hi December,
The only way I know what the Agents are looking for is by researching them. I offered this opp to Agents, and whoever wants to stop by contacts me. I post the info they give me and a link to their website (if they have one) a week before the agents come to shop.
Other than that – I don’t have a special ‘in’ with them. They are kind enough to agree to come and I don’t push the issue. When I post the agents names, I suggest you check their info and website to see if they have anything specific they are looking for.

Hi Melissa,
The contest should be fun. I would have liked to have a couple agents join in the fun to judge but they are soooo busy, so it’ll just be us MuseTrackers.
Should be interesting to see the blurbs. And of course, it’s all for fun so everyone can have a blast withit. Funny, sad, scary – whatever!
Thanks for stopping by.
