I have an agent!!! Can you hear the angels singing?
July 4th, 2008
I’m not sure I need to say another word…the title of my post says it all, huh? After all the hours of writing, editing, querying, pitching, begging, pleading, offering my first born son (although he’s 17 now and eats like a horse so that probably wouldn’t be a very sweet deal), it has finally happened! I have been offered agency representation from an NYC agency. Yes! The words surreal, amazing and incredible can’t even cut it. I am over the moon!
So when I could finally sit still again without having to jump up and Snoopy Dance in the middle of my living room, I plopped down with the second set of revision notes provided by my agent and began brainstorming and jotting down what direction to take with the new advice. And I must say, using Caren’s revisions/suggestions has made me feel like a kid in a candy store. Delving even deeper into my story and characters has been more “fun” than challenging, and I can’t wait to see what new gems are unearthed in this second exploration.
Okay, time to stop yakking and get my butt back on revisions.
‘Til next time~ Lee Ann

Whoop! You go girl! Doing the snoopy dance with you.

You lucky lucky girl. Or is it luck? Probably not. Agents are a shy lot at taking on new talent, so its likely hard work.
I’d do a snoopy dance for ya but the ground shakes too much when I sway my big butt. How about an “Atta girl!!!!” instead.

Yipee!!!! Kudos Woman!! That’s quite the accomplishment, I agree with Big Mike.
(I’m sort of in limbo as I was asked to submit one of my manuscripts to the editor-in-cheif at Kensington Publishing—*fingers crossed*)
Best of Luck!
May all your future novels be #1 on the NY Times bestseller list!!!

Kimber and Ciara, thanks so much! I’ve been working to achieve agency representation for so long now, and it just feels so good. I keep pinching myself–sure hope I don’t wake up.
Hey, Big Mike, I appreciate the “Atta girl”, but I wouldn’t mind the ground shaking either! Dance it up, Big guy!
Angie, wow, that’s great about Kensington! I’ll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you, too. And, thanks!
Phyllis and Kim, do I have to break out the mud wrestling pit and let you two go at it?
Hey, I love both of you more than chocolate, and that’s a lot!!!
