Book Agent Whatsits (or, OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!)

I sent my story into the Sandra Dijkstra agency (who tie LA times pronounced "one of the top 5 agents on the west coast) and they read the entire 60 pages in one night and now another agent at the company (Sandra's personal assistant) is doing a second read-through, but they're pretty serious about it (both have been in touch).so I copy/pasted it here...I've been trying to talk about it to my coworkers today, but they don't really get my enthusiasm


Hi Misty,

I wanted to touch base and let you know that I was able to read through your material last night. I found it simply stunning. You've managed to weave a complex and highly original story here, and your narrative voices are quite impressive. Can you send me the entire so I can read through the rest?

I've asked Elise to do a 2nd read for me. We'll be in touch very soon.

Warmest,
Kelly

Wow, well done. Is this the first query you've sent to an agent? If so, congratulations! If not, congratulations anyway! Good luck with getting it published!

Congratulations! Gambatte with getting it published! :does a little dance:

*cheers with some sparkly pom-poms*

Congradumalations!

That's really cool.

It may be a good idea to not get too exicted, in case they do end up rejecting you (tis entirely possible, remember).

Ooh, when you get more info, make sure to get back to us. ^_^

WHEEEEEEE!!! That's so cool, Misty!

*cheers*

!

That's so cool! I hope everything goes well for you!

Ah! Jealous!! That's so awesome! Novel? Have you posted it here?


Congrats!!

And hey...once you finish that last bit up, you'll have another novel. One you like more than NaNo!

So, it's a two in one thing. Excellent. ^_^

Congratulations, hope the rest goes well!

That is so exciting, honey! *tacklehugs*

Crossing my fingers for ya.

Hey,

I'll second Sur's warning, I remember getting too excited when a short story of mine was shortlisted for publication in an anthology -- granted, the two are in different leagues, lol but the experience is the same -- and the editor seemed perfectly serious, but it didn't make it in the end.

I will say though that the letter you put up seems very encouraging and to be honest, if I was you I'd be doing backflips all day long lol.

Best of luck,
Jiggy

You rock. Go you. Etc.

Wootles! I'm so happy for you! Agents are a blessing(the good ones anyway)

(I told you it was good.)
