I've been pursuing writing for a few years now. I've written five books and sent out to agents on two of them. I pretty much gave up on the first one ever getting me anywhere. Earlier this year, I completed a middle grade book about kids at a theater school. The book is filled with references to musicals and follows a traditional musical comedy plot.

Today I finally landed an agent. I've been sending to agents for two years, and after many, many rejections, it's an incredible feeling to get some validation and to know that my writing career is really starting now.

Next comes some more edits then sending out to publishers. Hopefully in a couple of years (it actually takes THAT long even from this point) I'll be on here hawking my new book to all of you!

Cheers. I just started my first year of college. Creative Writing major. It's a long and winding road, but always good to hear of a fellow author making it! :)


I know you. I know you. I know you.

As someone who's been through this process as well, I know how hard it is to get an agent to even look at your manuscript(s), let alone show an interest in representing you. This is a seriously fantastic accomplishment, and you should be very proud of yourself. Congratulations.


"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Thank you, guys. I've been pretty much non-stop grinning since Friday when I got the initial email. Today was the phone call when I got the "official" offer.

Contract comes later in the week.
