I try to remind myself that it only takes one agent, and that so many people have been rejected up to 200x or more, to help me stay grounded. I like to joke and say "seven rejections down, 193 to go!" but thank you, hearing about people's journey really helps me too!
I have been around actors since I married my wife and in the acting world it is very much talked about how it's not that you aren't good at what you are doing. It's that you need to find the people that are looking for what you offer SPECIFICALLY. And it is the same with writing.
Good luck
Thank you!
Only 16 agents is nuts with the results you have. These are great numbers! My friend queried 196 agents before she got repped.
I queried about 50 places before I found a small press.
