Not this kind of agent but ya know. \ud83d\ude09<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

January <\/span>24th, 2019 marked the day I signed with my first literary agent and I\u2019m just so overwhelmed and overjoyed. I\u2019ve wanted to get an agent since I was sixteen and I\u2019ve been actively pitching and submitting for five years. This is the sixth agent I\u2019ve applied for and ironically the first one I\u2019ve queried since I\u2019ve pitched to others in person at conferences. For those who don\u2019t know a literary agent is like a liaison between authors and publishers. They can get you into publishers that an author alone wouldn\u2019t have access to, they help negotiate contracts, and help upkeep the author\u2019s interests as a whole in the publishing process and beyond. This is a relationship that will hopefully last me years into my career. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n
\nAll of this started earlier in 2018 when my friend became an intern for C.Y.L.E. @ Hartline Literary. I\u2019m so happy for her, but I was hesitant about submitting to <\/span>C.Y.L.E. because I didn\u2019t want it to look like I was using my friend as an in, so I didn\u2019t look too much into it. Besides I had some publishers and a different agent I was submitting to. In September I had my friend and colleague Bryan Davis (author of Dragons in Our Midst<\/i> and Reapers<\/i>) suggest I submit to the agency. At that point in the year, I was feeling very discouraged since I hadn\u2019t heard from any of the people I had submitted to and I was just really lacking motivation. I decided what the heck and went through the submission process (which is very unique for most agencies) and sent out my first agent query.<\/span>
\n
<\/span> A few weeks later I got a rejection from a publisher I\u2019ve wanted for over ten years and resolved that I\u2019m no longer dealing with publishers directly. I\u2019ve had it. In January I wanted to send out queries and never pitch to a publisher again because I was so sick of it. In November, I heard back from C.Y.L.E. requesting a full manuscript. This didn\u2019t thrill me too much since I\u2019ve gotten this far multiple times before and nothing came of it. So I sent the manuscript and went about my NaNoWriMo business.<\/span>
\n
<\/span> On New Year’s Eve, I was waiting in my car on a rainy night in Helen, GA for the Edelweiss Drop (their equivalent of the Ball Drop) when I got an email from C.Y.L.E. requesting for a Skype appointment. I was so thrilled. I\u2019d never gotten this far before. The next day I emailed back and we set up an appointment for the following Friday. That whole week I was so anxious. I didn\u2019t want to somehow screw up this opportunity. I just knew I\u2019d be either incredibly happy or incredibly disappointed after it. I\u2019ve gotten really excited about writing opportunities before only to nine times out of ten have them shot down by a bazooka barrage of disappointments. <\/span>
\n
<\/span> The day of the appointment came and I was really calm and at peace. I dressed nice and called the intern I would be working with. After some small talk to break the ice, we spoke about how the Skype call is to mostly gauge the behavior of the author. Like to make sure they\u2019re not crazy. I\u2019m thankfully normal enough to pass that test. Then we started talking about my book and he asked how I was inspired to write it then he started telling me how much he loved the world and the plot. He said when he got my submission he said to his colleagues, \u201cGuys I\u2019ve really got something here.\u201d And inside I\u2019m like:<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\nWe also got into discussing revisions and because of how much he loved the story I wasn\u2019t afraid of the critique (I\u2019ve had publishers call me racist and incompetent before so color me paranoid). All of his points were really good and he layered on the good parts too so I really felt like it was one of the best critiques I\u2019ve had. And then I asked about if I\u2019m in like is this really happening and he said yes. I also talked about publishers and how I really want some with <\/span>decent distribution like in bookstores and then he tells me he wants to submit Red Hood<\/i> to one of the Big Five\u2019s imprints that\u2019s published Brandon Sanderson and I\u2019m like:<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\nI don\u2019t know if I\u2019ll actually get in there but just the fact that it is a possibility is like:<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\nThe call only lasted a half an hour but I was basically in shock for a good minute then I called some of my close friends and family to tell them the news because I was so freaking excited. Then for two weeks, I held in my urge to proclaim my news from the rooftops while I waited on the contract. In the meantime, I reviewed a copy of the contract to make sure everything is legit and had a friend look at it and everything was legit. I also looked at some of the intern\u2019s full feedback so I can assess what needs to be changed. <\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\nThen on the 24th as soon as I got into work I got the email that my contract had come. OH GOD!!!!!!!!!!! So all day I was watching the clock waiting to get out so I could go home and sign. Then after my forty-five-minute commute, I set my stuff down and rushed to my laptop. And then I signed it digitally and sent it off and I’m like … dang, that just happened.<\/span>
\n
<\/span> So now I will be working with my agent and betas to polish my manuscript and get a proposal ready to be sent out to publishers.<\/span>
\n
<\/span> I know my journey is far from over. My book probably won\u2019t be on shelves for a few years yet but this is a big step toward my dreams and it just feels so amazing to be validated after years of working unpleasant day jobs, having other people tell me what I \u201cshould be doing with my life,\u201d and just me myself doubting that all of the hard work I\u2019ve put into my dream is actually worth it. I\u2019m also really happy how God worked this out. The other publishers and agents I was going for could only get me into a smaller Christian market but now I\u2019m working on going into the general market which has much more reach and opportunity. I appreciate the Christian market for what it is, but I feel like my place is in general.<\/span>
\n
<\/span> I know many of you reading this share my same dream and I just want to say keep the heck going. It\u2019s going to really suck I mean really suck sometimes, but if you want something bad enough, you can accomplish your goal. One of my favorite quotes is:<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

\nWhen you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful.<\/span>  <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/span> I\u2019ve wanted this since I was eleven years old and finished my first crappy 20K word manuscript. I want to create worlds and touch others peoples\u2019 hearts. I\u2019ve had some people tell me I do that in my essays but there\u2019s something about touching someone else through a character that has something long-lasting. I know I\u2019m going to fade away someday but those characters will always be immortal symbols of hope in my stories.<\/span>
\n
<\/span> I want to share my accomplishment with you guys because yes it means a lot to me and I want other people to share in my excitement, but I also want you to see proof that some other human that doesn\u2019t have the god-like status of a celebrity can do what you\u2019re striving to do. I hope that inspires you to keep going. <\/span>
\n
<\/span> I\u2019ll keep you guys informed about the process as I go forward. Keep an eye on my social media for more immediate updates. If you wanna do that. Thank you so so much for supporting me throughout this journey. Your encouragement means so much to me.<\/span>
