Whew!
The past few weeks have been CRAZY! There are so many changes and things happening and really, it’s been a complete whirlwind. But things are finally getting back to normal and in some form of a routine, and I’m so happy to be back!
I normally don’t post on Wednesdays, but I couldn’t wait until tomorrow–I just had to come and shout out all my exciting news today. (I can be impatient that way). Really, there’s THREE things I wanted to let all of you wonderful readers know about, so I thought I’d do it quick and fast bullet style.
-
First, the biggest news that I never thought I’d get to say: I got the call!! Actually, I first got the email two Fridays ago, then a marathon three hour phone call last Monday, followed by a week of talking to a lot of other agents and pulling all nighters to finish my revision. But I can now PROUDLY say that I have an agent!! Lauren Hammond of ADA Management, the agent of awesome, believes in me and my writing, and is such an enthusiastic, passionate advocate that I honestly couldn’t be happier. From the very first email, she made me feel so comfortable and it was like we’ve known each other for years. Equally exciting is that my CP and writing sister Trish Wolfe is also now my agency sister!
- Along with sharing an AGENT OF AWESOME, Trish and I have also now joined forces on YA Bound. Trish started that blog almost a year ago to review YA books, and over the last few months has been kicking it up a notch. Now we’ve decided to really focus our attention on spreading the YA love with LIVE Author chats, a fun new hashtag/meme on Thursdays (be sure to hop over there tomorrow!), interviews and tons of giveaways! Today is our kick off post and we interviewed each other random question style, so come hop over to discover which YA author I’d love to be for a day and all about Trish’s favorite YA bad boy.
- And finally, the GIVEAWAY news! Over at YA Bound we’re gonna have a ton of giveaways each month, but to CELEBRATE our new agented status and kick off the new phase of the blog, we’re having FOUR giveaways this month alone! Come back every week for a chance to win a different ARC of a book coming out this month, and if you follow us over there and snag our snazzy button above for your blog (and let us know about it) you’ll be automatically entered into all four! So excited about this 🙂
Q4U: So that is what I’ve been up to–what about you? What has kept YOU busy and crazy this summer? Do YOU have any exciting news to share? If so, please leave them below! I’d love to celebrate with you!
