Hello everyone,

A recommendation from a close friend brought me here, and I've spent all morning reading some absolutely fascinating threads, so I'll definitely be sticking around.

Some background - I'm a 31 year old librarian from Los Angeles, married, with 2 cats.

I enjoy fantasy of all types, but my special love is urban fantasy, which I also write. Currently, I'm in the submit/reject/revise stage of my writing career. Happily, I've gotten 2 requests for full out of 3 replies from my latest round of queries, which gives me a heck of a lot of hope!

Welcome. And congratulations on the 2 requests for full out--that's outstanding. I'm about to start submitting a novella set in L.A. to publishers--I had high hopes on a small pub novella contest in Toronto but didn't make the short list. So, off to the query letter phase.

I think you'll enjoy this place called AW. And, again, welcome.

Welcome to AW!
