Some news on the writing front. My agent is leaving her company to pursue other creative goals in life. I am wishing her all the best, and I’m at least thankful she let me know of her career shifting, rather than simply dropping off the radar, like some horror stories I’ve heard. This puts me in a position to dust off my cover letters and novel proposals and seek out other advocates for my work. Though before I do, my post-agent has a co-worker she wants to put me in touch with to see if we might mesh on representation. Their company in particular doesn’t handle a ton of fantasy and science fiction, though apparently this other agent has at times. We’ll see. If it doesn’t work out, I at least appreciate what she’s done so far, and the encouragement she provided for my writing. To have someone confident that your work will sell is a nice motivation to keep sitting down at the keyboard.
My hope is that even if I have to set out on the agent-hunting path again, that I will have polished several viable manuscripts up to this point so they have a better chance of getting noticed. One would hope that we get better as time goes on. Right?
On with the adventure, then!
I see that smile.
