Thanks for this great info. (Have you thought about presenting at a first-day session at the RWA conference?)
What do you think about pitching a reformulated manuscript that was received well the first time around (positive rejection on a full)? We're talking complete rewrite here, not just an edit and a tweak.
RWA has tons and tons of people presenting on stuff like this -- I'm sure they already have something similar scheduled. Additionally, this is the kind of thing that individual chapters should be going over with their members to prepare them.

Personally, unless I have requested changes, once I have rejected something, I don't want to see it again. I want the author to move on and write a new project and give him/herself some distance from the first project. Other editors may feel differently.
Thanks, and a question!
