My meeting with the agent went better than I expected. Of course, after we parted I thought of half a dozen questions to ask him. But he’ll be emailing me next week.
The things that stood out to me:
He really likes my writing, and I’m the only unpubbed author he’s looking at right now.
He understands my […]
I’m at ICRS in Orlando, and today I’m meeting with agent number one per his request. We’ll be “discussing” my WIP and probably brainstroming the changes he’d like me to make. I’m not sure what will come of this meeting, maybe I can find a compromise to my WIP I can live with. Something that […]
It’s been a little over a month since I sent out my WIP to the two agents. The one sent via email responded within one week. You can read the previous post on that one. The second, I’m still waiting to hear from.
For all I know it could be on his pile of TBR (to […]
I heard back from one agent! Funny thing is after reading his email I didn’t feel any real emotion! I guess because it was neither a rejection or an acceptance. To paraphrase he said, good start, good hook, good story…then he suggested two things:
1) that I find a fiction editor to help me tighten my […]
I sent it off! Two weeks ago. After polishing and editing and correcting and polishing, I sent it off to the two agents who requested it! You can read all about what happened it those agent meetings at ACFW in early posts under CONFERENCES!
But it’s off and I have such a peace! At […]
It’s like that old saying, “Too many cooks spoil the broth.”
I’m at that point in my WIP where I’m doing last minute tweaking and trying to get feedback from lots of different people in anticipation of sending it off in a couple days/weeks! It’s been a long time since I sent something off, mainly because […]
When I last wrote I had mentioned I had a really great conversation with Steve Laube, one of the agents who liked my One Sheet in the late night chat and who I had an appointment with the next day. But I didn’t share any details.There’s not much to share on the writing side of […]
It’s hard to believe when I started my cozy mysery over a year ago that I’d actually reach the end. I’m not really good at finishing WIPs, mainly because I get so caught up in getting it perfect, but this time I was determined to plow a head to the end no matter how awful […]
Summer should be a relaxing time spent by the side of the pool sipping lemonade, lazily reading a novel while my kids splash and play.
Reality check! I’ve been “on vacation” visiting family for half the summer, it’s been raining here like it’s Seattle, and we don’t have a pool. Cooling off means carting my kids […]
