Signed with an Agent

SteveCordero · Jul 5, 2011

Hello, AW.

I've been a long time AW member and even longer querier. In fact, I had been querying agents for 8 years on 7 manuscripts.

Finally, last week I signed with the awesome John Rudolph of Dystel & Goderich Literary Management.

I've blogged about my long lit journey:

And also did an interview for QueryTracker's success stories page:

Thanks again AW because, as I had posted in my newbie thread back in July 2007, this site is truly a writer's godsend.

Thanks, everyone!

It's been a week and still getting used to it. The good thing is that I have agent revision notes, completed my own notes, and have started on the revisions. So I'm doing what I love the most--writing.

dgrintalis · Jul 5, 2011

Many, many congratulations! :snoopy:
