Stats on Full Manuscripts

Agent Janet Reid breaks down half a year’s full manuscript requests–and not only do we get to see the raw numbers (124 manuscripts requested, 2 offered representation), but she adds up all the reasons she passed. A good look into what it takes to make the final cut.

Or the not-so-final cut, I guess, as I believe even after you climb that whole agent mountain you still have to sell the damn thing somewhere.
