I've been directed to this site many times after Googling things like: "how to find an agent" and "how do I know if my query letter sucks?"

Glad to have found this community.

I just completed my first novel (wait--did I just write that?) and I'm in the process of pitching to agents. It is arduous and agonizing. I work mostly as a journalist, so writing has been a part of me for a long time. I also lived in Israel for about 10 years, where my novel takes place.

But I hope we will all get through this together:)

Welcome to AW. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the ‘forum jump’ you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. Most of the SYW areas require the password of ….vista. A word to the wise, (50 posts), it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.
