I...have...an...AGENT!

I'm thrilled to announce that I've signed with the amazing Karen Grencik from The Karen Grencik Literary Agency.

My fabulous critique partners, Lisa Green and Leslie Rose, met Karen at a writing retreat and thought we'd hit it off. I included Karen in my first batch of queries, and a short time later, we signed a contract.

Karen is a lovely person and a talented editor. I'm working through her in-depth notes on my YA novel right now, and man, she's good (I have so much to learn).

I realize this is the beginning of a long and winding road (insert Beatles music). Representation offers no guarantee of publication. There will be disappointments along the way, but hopefully, HOPEFULLY, positive news will come my way. I'm honored to be taking this next step with Karen.

For you queriers out there, remember, it only takes one YES.
For those of you out on submission, I wish you GOOD LUCK.
For those of you with books out or soon to be out, CONGRATULATIONS.
Taking this journey with all of you is PRICELESS.

    I'm so happy for you Julie, now comes the long, winding road as you say. But it'll all be worth it and the worse bit (the query submissions) is OVER! Yay!
    I always think that part is harder than writing the novel. Good luck and keep us up-dated.

    Many congratulations, Julie!!! You have worked so hard, that's been obvious to me just from what I've read on your blog. Hard work, writing, writing, writing, dedication, learning the industry, entering contests, attending conferences-- all that while raising a family-- I am truly impressed with you and so thrilled that you now have representation. Good luck for your future writing career! I am sure that it will be long and lucrative. All the best!

    Julie,
    I am so late with hearing the news, but when I did I just had to come say CONGRATULATIONS! You deserve this! Even though I have never read any of your work, the way you talk about writing has me convinced enough. You have always been there for me through the good and the bad times, and I just wanted to tell you how thrilled I am to hear you have an agent and how inspirational you have become to me by being able to find someone to represent you.
    I know you've been working extremely hard to find somebody to represent your book, and it's such a relief to hear you've finally found someone:) Now I just have to catch up to you, right?
    Please keep me updated. I know I haven't been able to comment on your blog as often as I used to, but I honestly am interested in staying in touch with you and to be there for you through the disappointments and successes. So if something excited happens, email me if you'd like:)
    I'm so happy for you. I hope one day in the near future I can catch up to you and everyone else out there who is finding people who are interested in their book.

    CONGRATS, CONGRATS, CONGRATS! :D

    Lots of hugs & many more congratulations,
    Lindsey
