Partial Requested!

JenNipps · Oct 12, 2007

Today I had an appointment with an agent at the writers' conference I'm at. From my pitch and the query letter, she's requested the first 50 pages.

Shady Lane · Oct 12, 2007

Ooh, congratulations! I'd be scared to death to pitch in real life.

Azraelsbane · Oct 12, 2007

Ditto. And grats!

NiennaC · Oct 12, 2007

How awesome! Congrats! :hooray:

JenNipps · Oct 12, 2007

Thanks.

Want to know a secret?

I was absolutely, completely TERRIFIED!!!

My knees were shaking walking into the appointment. I know my voice shook some. Ack!! lol. But in spite of all that......

You're so brave Jen! I don't think I could have done it. And to get a partial request to boot? Simply brilliant. Congrats again.

Congratulations, Jen!

Jen!!

Way to go, girl! :Jump:

vfury · Oct 12, 2007

Whoo! That's fantastic! God, I would have been terrified if that had been me; subbing and querying is difficult enough.

Chicken Warrior · Oct 12, 2007

That's wonderful!

I had a presentation today; not big, important, or writing related, but I think everyone thought I was...pretty screwed, actualy.

You have a wonderful ability to make that impression

Jersey Chick · Oct 12, 2007

What great news! I know how nervewracking pitch sessions are - I had one last year where the editor asked me about some of my favorite writers and my mind went pfzzt!

Congratulations and I'll keep fingers crossed for good news!

Sury · Oct 12, 2007

That's terrific, Jen! I hope it translates into representation. GOOD LUCK!

Wow, your bravery has payed off! Way to go, and I hope she requests the full! :snoopy:

Pike · Oct 12, 2007

Yep, I'd get a healthy dose of Verbal Dyslexia and come across like a drunken dork. Major congrats!

Wow--good work! Best of luck!

Which conference, by the way? I've never been to one...

Susan

JenNipps · Oct 13, 2007

It's the Ozark Creative Writers conference in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. It's small but good.

Thanks, everybody. I really appreciate it. You can be sure this is the first place I'll post the news if she requests more of it. After the requisite phone calls, you know.

jenngreenleaf · Oct 14, 2007

Jen! Congratulations!!!!! :snoopy:

This is such great news! I can't wait to hear more . . .

Brenda Hill · Oct 14, 2007

The first time I waited for my turn with an agent, I almost threw up in the hallway. I saved face only because the other writers looked chalky as well.

Congratulations on the request!

oarsman · Oct 15, 2007

Congratulations, Jen!!

Kudra · Oct 15, 2007

Fantastic! Congratulations and good luck!

ishtar'sgate · Oct 15, 2007

Terrific news! Congratulations.

JenNipps · Oct 17, 2007

Thanks, guys.

She wants it by e-mail next week. Here's hoping I have 'Net access at the new place by then.

JenNipps · Nov 2, 2007

This has to be the nicest rejection on record. I think if she had liked the style a little more, she would have taken it.

WordGypsy · Nov 3, 2007

Aw bummer...I got here late but still want to congratulate you on the request~
