I Guess It’s Time I Announce…
I have an agent!
If you’ve been following my quest for an agent, then you know all about. If not you can read all about it! But the abbreviated version is that I’ve been prayerfully considering which agents I’d submit my proposal to.
I narrowed it down to two, got to know these agents over a course of two to three years, and when I had a finished WIP, I pitched them at an ACFW conference. They both requested it, and I spent the next year agonizing over how I would choose between the two. Being the coward that I can be at times, I prayed that only one would want to represent me while fully aware that either both or neither would want to touch this newbie!
Well, God answered my prayers and guided my path. And now I have an agent before ACFW, which was my goal.
Who is my agent? Chip MacGregor.
It’s so clear to me now how the hand of God was nudging me toward him from the time I met him and heard God speak to my heart saying, “Maybe the agent you want is not the one you need” to the time I showed up early to meet with another agent and Chip had just had a cancellation. That’s when I pitched my WIP and the ball started rolling.
I had certain criteria I was looking for in an agent and Chip fit the bill. I’m excited to work with him for a number of reasons, but mostly because God not only knew what I needed in an agent, but ultimately he gave me get exactly what I wanted as well!
I’m excited for fall and a more consistant...

Hooray! Congratulations! I’m thrilled for you.
August 25th, 2008 at 8:31 pmGina, I’ve been following your progress with your WIP, and am thrilled for you. Not only do you have an agent, but you didn’t have to make the choice – God did! If I read correctly, this is the one who respected your reasons for not wanting to make it a romance. I hope you have a contract soon.
