Hi everyone!

So my name's Ikhlas and I'm new(ish). I say new-ish because I used to have an account on here before, under a different name, but then stopped visiting.

But I'm back now, and eager to get to know all of you! Or some of you at least :)

I'm from Toronto, Canada and have written three manuscripts so far, all of which are unpublished. My latest one is a modern retelling of both Pride and Prejudice and Emma, but is told through the point of view of a young Muslim girl growing up in Canada.

Hmm, what else? My favourite genres to read and write are Young Adult...I just can't get enough of it! Some of my favourites include: Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Seraphina, and all of Sarah Dessen's novels.

Anyway, it's nice to meet you all :)

Welcome. Your story sounds interesting. It's always nice to see different perspectives on things. Good luck with your unpublished manuscripts.

I'm a big Harry Potter fan, too.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! :)

Quick question, I have a question about the benefits of agent vs. publisher for a first time author, but am unsure as to where to post it. I don't want it to be in the wrong thread!
