      @chrisaakins I will be crossing my fingers that you get a good reception.
      That sucks when mistakes happen like that. Let me tell you about the time I submitted my portfolio to a publishers email submission. I write personal notes to each publisher in my email and this particular time I sent an email with a different publisher name in the note. I ate crow and sent another apologizing profusely and making a joke about it (in a tactful way). I got a short email back saying they understood and things happen but I never heard back about my work. Lol. You gotta just hope they are human beings that understand nervous energy mistakes. Good luck šŸ€šŸ‘šŸ™‚

          @burvantill I once sent a portfolio to an agency addressed to another agency and they were savage about it! They immediately replied and made sure to let me know they were tossing out my application because of my mistake. For months this was the only reply I had from the whole posting as none of the other agencies replied. This was devastating! But these things happen šŸ™‚

                      Update: Well, I got my first rejection letter. They said it was not a good fit for them right now. I guess I will try some more publishers..
