Your words are certainly on target. When I kept being rejected by agents at first, I didn’t know what I was doing wrong, and it really took a good dose of reality on my part to realize that even if I didn’t know what the problem was, I was obviously NOT delivering my best work — my query letter was not very catchy, my synopsis was weak, and my manuscript was not properly formatted and edited. When I finally pushed ego aside and took a good look, I finally saw that my work was far from being good enough for a publisher to consider. Since then, I have had several conversations with my agent about this, and she has revealed that out of an average of 100 manuscripts that are sent to editors, only five or six are requested (never mind the fact that the manuscripts sent are those already chosen by agents over many they receive daily), so it is easy to see why agents have to be so picky.
