One would think I'd have posted about signing with my agent, Katie Grimm of Don Congdon Associates, when it happened over four months ago because that was
VERY EXCITING NEWS!!!
Four months ago I would have said I liked my agent without knowing exactly why,
outside of the fact that she appreciated my novel and wanted to represent me.
But I am way better suited to sing her praises NOW than I would have been THEN.
So why do I love my agent? Let me count the ways:
My agent is
Astute
Aware
Meticulous
My agent communicates
Quickly
Succinctly
Insightfully
My agent encourages me
Kindly
Humorously
Consistently
When I began my quest for literary representation
I had few expectations
Just wanted an agent
Who I could like
Never expected to find an agent
I could love
WHAT I'VE BEEN READING LATELY: Lost It (K. Tracy) Waiting For Normal (L.Connor)
Between Shades of Gray (R. Sepetys) Not That Kind of Girl (S. Vivian)
Avalon High (M. Cabot) Where I Live (E. Spinelli) Whale Talk (C. Crutcher)
Countdown (D. Wiles) Stolen Child (M. F. Skrypuch)
Aw. What a series of incredibly well-written compliments. She's lucky to have you too. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulation. It's a wonderful thing when you find "the one". :-)
ReplyDeleteYAY! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI like that you have reason to use so many CAPITALS!! That's wonder and I know she's pushing you to be even better. It's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAw, I'm so happy for both of you! Congrats, Angelina! :)
ReplyDeleteIt was super nice seeing you at the conference!
Thanks, everyone. Now I must get back to work so I'll have something for her to work with ^_^
ReplyDeleteThis must have been so exciting to write! And it's a thrill to read. I'm so glad agents are still worth getting, even in this topsy-turvy pubbing landscape.
ReplyDeleteKatie Grimm sounds like a VERY worthwhile agent.
Hugs!!
