thanks for ur response. I'm not that well known and still pitching....my first book proposal several years ago was picked up by agent who sold it to S & S BUT...we had to do some work on it and THEN? S & S editors requested I do more....I did and knew if i didn't they likely wouldn't publish it.....Remember this as ur gain experience in the writing world, a writer's work-as good as she might think it is & evidenced by an agent picking it up - is almost ALWAYS a draft of what it will become....only WELL SEASONED writers, Nora Ephron, Stephen King and the like, go to press without agent and/or editor revisions....it's a tough biz we're in and i always encourage my writers to keep their eyes on their egos....good luck.
