Hello, I'm new here
Yes, I am new to this site. I came across it quite by accident when I was surfing around the web for info on an agent. Poked around and decided I'd throw my name into the soup.
I'm also new to the publishing world as well, having finally worked up the courage to submit one of my stories to Ethan Ellenberg's agency - who was rather nice about turning me down, form-letter postcard and all.
I've always had a knack for story telling and my perpetual frustration with my nursing career of the last 15 years was finally my motivation to do something completely different. So, here I am, wading in the surf, hoping to be noticed by a reputable agent/publisher.
So, hello and good luck to us all!
