I sent her a novel and she said she loved it. I heard 2nd hand that when she actually read it, she hated it. Repeated phone calls got me "She's out of the office," and my calls were never returned. I had a query from an LA agent who wanted to pitch one of my stories to Twilight Zone (tv). My contract with MH said she had to ok anything like this, but she was "out of the office" and never called back. Bye-bye TZ. I fired her.<br /><br />Perhaps she's a bit more experienced these days, perhaps she returns calls, and perhaps she reads mss before loving them, but my experience with her was an education I would have preferred to avoid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-74299438188983648112009-09-16T09:19:08.942-04:002009-09-16T09:19:08.942-04:00Awesome once again!
