It feels like a long time since I've updated the blog, and indeed it has. Things have been busy for me outside of the work on the book, which still continues and still is a labor of love, but one needs to pay the bills as well.....
To keep you updated on the development of the book as a good blog should, around mid-summer, the first round of proposal packages went out to some publishers and literary agents. Not surprisingly, the first round of rejection letters have slowly trickled back in. One needs a tough exterior and strong will and belief in the project to forge ahead despite possible setbacks. A second round of proposals is heading out the door shortly. I must however thank the Ethan Ellenburg Agency and Michelle Andelman at the Andrea Brown Literary Agency for personalizing their responses and showing enthusiasm for the project. It was nicely re-affirming. I thought it would be fun to share some of the letters. I will also do my best to keep regular updates posted.Onwards and upwards......
