dear agents, below are the big details about HOUSE OF DREAMS but the small details are petals drifting on a stagnant pond, moths in a vanity drawer, diamonds adorning buried bones, black silk on wet skin and a windchime in a window

An agent who had a full for House of Dreams said I had created such an incredible, lush gothic world, reminiscent of Crimson Peak and that the lore surrounding my dreamwitches was fascinating and that my writing was propulsive and magical. The kindest and most thoughtful pass.
Writers. I knew it's rare to get rejection with feedback. What was the best rejection feedback you've gotten? One that was useful, or one that left you feeling good? I want to highlight the positives.

Perched primly on a stool was Imogen Gallamore, a slim black cat purring on her lap, and then the wolves came.
Open your WIP, turn to page twenty, and type the first sentence of the fourth line, adding, "and then the wolves came" to the end!
