#2: Initial revision
Let's suppose you have finished your novel, through all the appropriate stages of drafting and editing needed. You begin submitting the book to various agents and/or publishing companies, but none of your queries gets answers. I'm talking about a worst-case scenario, where you either get copypasted replies or no reply at all, and no feedback about how your work could be improved. Given this grim setting, **when do you stop, if ever, sending queries for that particular novel? Is it safe to assume that it's either badly written or there's no market for it?** Do you keep it in a locker and try to publish it again years later? Edit: To be completely clear, I'm not in this situation right now, but I figure it's an interesting question to ask.
