Gelfman Schneider Literary Agency
My Big News!!
Yes!!! This is THAT big news: I. Have. An. Agent! *insert cheesy grin and maybe a squee or two*
I know! Cool, right?
And do you know how hard it was not to say anything last week?!! Well I assure you, it was hard.
So who is this agent you ask? The wonderfully fabulous Victoria Marini of Gelfman Schneider Literary Agents, Inc.
She read my manuscript in one sitting guys. And when she e-mailed me, she used words like “wonderful,” “marketable,” and “fabulous.” I’ve read others’ experiences so many times, and wondered if an agent could ever really love my little book enough to offer representation. Seriously, I am all agog at the fantastickness of it.
I have a whole long “How I Got My Agent” post written out in my head with all kinds of thanks involved which I’m sure will be coming shortly, not to mention a celebration of some sort, but for now I give you the mandatory ‘I’m-signing-my-contract’ picture. (And yes, my desk is always that clean. Why do you ask?)
So what is your good news, today?
