Getting easier…
It’s getting easier to press the send button on query letters. Why? Well, because I realize that just because one agent says no, doesn’t mean the next won’t say yes! The worst that can happen when you query is that you get a note saying “It’s not right for me or my agency at this time.” Which sometimes can be a blow, considering it’s your tip top agent! But at the same time, I think it’s good for your character to get a no. It helps move your forward and to the final goal of publication. So yes, I did push send on five queries this...

I, Eisley Jacobs, do solemnly swear to complete my MG novel by June 30, 2010. Why… because it’s so darn fun! I had the idea for this novel while driving around town. I think I was somewhere in Southeastern Littleton or Northern Centennial when I had the idea… and it hit me like a baseball flying out of control at someone not paying attention.

I received a partial request… and I am immediately thankful I already started my first person rewrites… Sweeet! The funniest/craziest part of this request… I didn’t query for it. No, true story! Honest! I did query HER… sorta, if you could call that a query I sent. It was more like a “Umm yah, here is the deal *blah* and what do you think?” #truestory, you can ask her when she is my awesome agent…! Anyhow, my email was about my non-fiction stuff.
