I am getting very depressed because I have counted up all the submissions I've sent off on my current novel and it's about 60. 60 submissions and not a single request for the manuscript. I've had a few people read it and they praised it, although I'm not sure it's any good. It's possible the subject matter is too controversial, but I doubt that's it. The easiest and simplest explanation is just that it's a terribly-written book.
