Tomorrow (Tuesday) I'll be at Miss Snark's First Victim (link) telling how I met my literary agent, Kate McKean of Howard Morhaim Literary, Inc.
Today I'm still walking around, smiling, and trying to wean myself off checking my email every five minutes. It's hard after a year and three months of querying, waiting to hear something. It's hard to think now I've moved to the next phase. Submissions.
I'm not sure what to expect.
Once again, though, I have to give it up. Blogging wins. After all those queries, I found my agent through a blog. It's possible my story's unusual, but maybe not. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts, so I hope you'll drop by MSFV tomorrow.
In the meantime, have a great Monday! After all this daydreaming, I've got to get back to work.
Til Thursday, reader-friends~ <3

Blogging does win! I don't hear too many who've met their agent through blogging though - bet you have a cool story.
ReplyDeleteThat is superfabulousamazing news! Hooray! Can't wait to hear your story!
ReplyDelete*jumps up and cheers for Leigh*
Mine was less direct--met an author who recommended me to my agent, but STILL, through my blog. I totally want to hear your earlier story--I've heard the later part, but not how you came across each other and how that went... so fess up! (or do I have to go to Miss Snark?) --I suppose I can do that *wink* I'm still so thrilled for you!
ReplyDeletewell, sometimes we can't even plan the good things in life; they just happen!
ReplyDeleteI am thrilled for you!
