Leveled Up!

[bloodyrosemccoy]

Oh, SHIT, y’all, one of these agents I queried wants to see more pages of Doctors!

I was getting used to flat-out rejections! What the hell happens if she likes all those pages? Then what do I do?

I realize it’s a bit soon to celebrate, but hey, I at least made it to Level Two with somebody! This is a first!

Because I'm Captain Downer Pants

Did you vet this agent through Agents Beware?

Have you finished the novel? Gone through all the drafts?

All that other writerly stuff?

All that said, awesomesauce!

Even if the agent doesn't pan out, look at submitting to a slush pile. There's still houses out there taking unrequested manuscripts: Sharyn November was talking about that at Orycon this year. Find a publisher who's printing books like yours and submit it. The worst that can happen is they say no, and you move on to the next house.

Good luck!

Yes, yes, and yes! I am new at this, but I am a homework-doer if ever there was one.

I am hoping to find an agent because I may be somewhat helpless without one--I am sure I could figure it out, but I'd rather have someone to help me there. Wish me luck!

Break a leg :)

Did you stay on the Wordos mailing list?

I'm sure people there would be happy to offer advice.
