My YA Contemporary Fantasy is going out to TEN editors this week! I am so stoked! My agent said probably tomorrow since she will be out of the office on Wednesday, but definitely by Friday. A am so excited and the nerves are kicking in now too. It's out of my hands now, and almost out of my agent's hands. Then it's just the old hope and a prayer.

I can't look!!

This is so exciting!

And it's also the time where you can sit back and put your feet up. You and your agent both know that the manuscript is the best you can make it. The editors will love it too! All you have to do is relax and wait for the offers to roll in.

Best of luck to you!

That's wonderful news. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Cassidy · Oct 22, 2007

Good luck! Fingers crossed. I can't wait to read your book-- so someone hurry up and publish it already!

Good luck!

You're almost there to being published. That must be so exciting.

Wishing you lots of luck - hope it'll be snapped up quickly! (Mine took 6 months to find an editor despite my agent's best efforts, so try not to worry if it takes longer than you expect!)

Soccer Mom · Oct 23, 2007

OMG! I can't believe how close this is to being real for you! It's been so long! Good luck! I hope the editors engage in a vicious bidding war.

Hope all is well with you and the wee one.

Hugs!
