Hi, I've just finished one of my novels that's just been sitting idle on the shelf for the longest time, and I'm seeking representation. I'm also new here, and that's why I'm making this post. I write YA, and could really use some adivise about query letters and the publishing business.

Welcome LeeMartin! Float around and get used to the place. It's huge. There's a lot of information here. Query Letter Hell is a huge worthwhile place to float through for your query. See you 'round the boards.

Congratulations on a finished novel. That's one more novel than I've finished. Good luck.

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.

Hello, Lee! Glad you've joined us fellow pilgrims on this unique journey we call writing! I've only been on these various forums for a few weeks, but I've picked up some interesting--and helpful--advice from various places. I have found that spending some time poking around in various threads usually leads to something I can use. There are some wonderful people hanging around. Best of luck!
