That sounds exciting. Validation as a writer!
When you chat with your agent, does she take the time? Does she make you feel like a rough diamond or just a stone?
When you have time, will you say a few things about what led you to the decision to partner with an agent? Id also be curious to know about the process of finding agents to approach.

Forgive me for presuming but, please be extra careful with the signing of documents. Make certain that you understand EVERYTHING. Let at least one, preferably two or three trusted friends or family review the documents and quiz you.
Have you asked for and been given the names and contacts of other talent this agent represents?
Is there some clause in there that allows the agent to drop you without further obligation? Do you have the same privilege? How often are the money terms negotiated? You don't have to answer, I'm just throwing out there stuff that I would be pondering when I find myself in a similar pair of shoes.
Cheers

Question: If you haven't already, is there any way you'd be willing to post your successful query letter on here? I think it can be immensely helpful for those of us that are still in the query trenches to see what has worked for others. (And if you've already posted it, slide yo gurl a link)
Congrats again!

So mine wasn't your typical journey. It was very long-winded. Obviously it worked out for me in the end, but I wouldn't say my query was up to scratch. I was just lucky that my agent saw a lot of potential in my MS at a very early stage.
I think that you will be surprised how much more story you can find to tell. That's been my experience, anyway (unpublished experience as it may be ).Planning a series, however, is a bit daunting. My book has a closed ending, and it's quite climatic, so I'm worried I won't be able to do as well with the potential sequels. There's a lot more that I can do with the concept and the characters, for sure, but I'm just worried I won't be able to pull the ideas off very well.
