Hello everyone!
I'm Stephanie, a brand new writer - or rather, someone who has written her entire life, but only recently started to take it seriously.
I just finished my first novel for young adults about a month ago. I've had amazing luck actually (I'm almost embarrassed to admit after reading horror stories). Currently I'm waiting on a few agents to respond after they requested parts of my manuscript. First hundred, first three chapters, first fifty, etc. It's possibly the most exciting and frightening thing that has ever happened to me.
As of today, I had an agent who read the first three chapters request my full manuscript. I've never been so excited and terrified in my life!
I'm quite proud of my book, however, I'll be the first to admit that it needs professional editing - and that I don't know how to go about. So any advice would be appreciated. I'm not sure how to find someone with an editors eye with out large amounts of money, or an agent.
I'm 27, live in Everett WA with my two beautiful dogs, in the same part of town I grew up in. Formerly a radio personality in Seattle, I'm currently teaching piano to help support my writing habit. I'm a classically trained pianist, and have played for 22 years.
So that's me - I'm looking forward to meeting and chatting with you.
