Now that my agent (I love saying that) has my manuscripts, I'm no longer submitting. So, I decided to take a look back at my records from years past. My five easy readers with Continental Press came out between 1998 and 2003. I submitted a few things in the years after, but didn't get serious until 2011. All of the sales were to magazines.
2011--37 submissions, 5 sales
2012--50 submissions, 12 sales
2013--86 submissions, 4 sales and one contest win
2014--51 submissions, 2 sales
2015--82 submissions, 1 sale
2016--54 submissions, 2 sales
2017--44 submissions, 0 sales
2018--25 submissions, 0 sales BUT--Signed with my agent!
So, to total things up, in 8 years I submitted 429 times and sold 26 magazine articles! Here's hoping my agent can help my stories become traditional, hard-cover, beautifully illustrated picture books!
