Hi everyone,

I'm a journalist trying to transition to author. I've been querying my first completed manuscript with moderate success. So far, two form rejections and a request for a full. I found this site while researching the agent who has my manuscript. I still have a ton to learn, and I'm looking forward to networking with other writers.

Howdy! I'm new too. Agented, novel on submission. I, uh, am supposed to be working and am looking for distraction. Should I admit that?

Hi Jordan,

I'm also a journalist currently working on my "Plan B" just in case I get laid off. (Which, given the current state of the industry, is very likely :()

Congrats on your request for a full.

Thanks Mike. Your Plan B is looking promising. I read your query and loved it. Definitely a book I would buy.

Hello. I'm new too. And it's fun to say hello to other new people.

Whenever I was looking for stuff, google kept sending me here for info, so finally I was like, "Hey I should join." And here I am.
