Thanks WriterMorgan!! Yes, in the end it alllll worked out.
The one thing I will say, I spoke to several of MH's client's and they all said the same thing...the majority of your communication will be through her assistant, Jen. This was true even for me...all of my email exchanges were with Jen. I know some people think, "Who cares? It's Writer's House!" And I admit, in the beginning, I felt the same -- *sheepish grin* But what happens when Jen gets promoted, or leaves?? Now you have to re-establish yourself w/ the new assistant because your relationship w/ MH has mostly been through the assistant.
Of course, I'm NOT saying MH doesn't speak to her clients...I'm sure she does. I think WH is an amazing agency, and MH a wonderful agent, I'm just saying, it's food for thought.
Thanks for the input! That's interesting how you were able to talk to some of her clients...I would've have thought to ask. Good to know, though Who did you end up going with? And what genre is your book?
