Rejoice With Me!
My book proposal is finished, and its availability has just been e-mailed to fifteen agents! I wasn't planning this to have the shape and contours of a New Years Resolution, but that seems to be what just happened. Anyway, I'm relieved. Here's hoping for a 2007 with significant forward motion!
LATER: By 6 am this morning, I had already received one request for a copy of the proposal. Dang, some of those agents sure get to work early! (And for those who don't know: the process is, you write a proposal---not the whole book, just an outline, a few chapters, and what amounts to a marketing guide---and then an agent requests the proposal, and if they like it, they'll get back to you with a contract for the book. So this e-mail I just got isn't me getting an agent, but it is the next step.)
