A writer told me that she had shipped her 3 chapters off to several publishers and her ms off to an agent that had requested it. Finally, after 6 months, the agent wanted to sign her. She said she refused, because it took them six months to get back to her. She said by then she had decided to rewrite the story, so didn't continue on with the agent.
Does that make sense to anyone? It doesn't to me--if I had an agent willing to represent me, I'd sure sign, rather than rewriting the whole thing.
Is her story even likely?
