Rejected

We’ve heard back from one of the production companies considering THE ARCHANGEL PROJECT (sent out under the pseudonym Steven Graham), and it’s a bzzzzzz:

“While I think Steven's manuscript is filled with tension, it's also a bit more focused on conspiracy theories than on character development, which is a concern for us in terms of the type of material we're looking to develop.”

They’re right, of course; the story is definitely focused more on action than on character development. I don’t know if I’d have said it’s “focused on conspiracy theories,” but it certainly has a conspiracy in it. Hey, that’s what intelligence communities do; they conspire.

Rejections are always a bummer, and the rejections naturally come in first since it’s much quicker to reject something than to get a zillion people to agree to buy it. I’m still hopeful one of the other production companies will buy it, and my two favorites are still considering it. But I’ve also seen rejections come in fast and furious, so I know all may yet come to naught.

Crossing fingers here…
