I know it's not a question, just a statement that I like to remind myself of whenever I'm rejected for something. In this case it's in relation to having just received my very first rejection letter from a Book Agent - well, the first for this book anyway!
Next one please - as I said in the title - I LOVE IT!
I've changed the title here at least. I do think it's much more commercially viable now. I may even be able to persuade my Mum to read it!

Maybe the title's putting them off? I suppose, "the Slaughtered Virgin of Zenopolis" could deter a few more delicate readers from rushing down to their local WHSmiths to buy a copy.
I think next time I send it out I'll call it, "Inspector Capstan and the Yellow Daisy of Tranquillity".
YES! THAT'S A MUCH BETTER TITLE!
At least this story doesn't have someone being cut in half with a chainsaw on the very first page, as my first one did. What was I thinking!
Threaten them with the cliff-top scenario, see if they're any more accommodating.
