13. Well Okay! Deeee-tails please! |
|
I'm unfamiliar with the book world. The novel is written, you have an agent, what comes next? And will you personally autograph my copy?

14. The agent sells the novel to a publisher. |
|
I've worked on this thing for years. She called me today and I am numb with thrilldom & gratitude. She's sold some pretty good books, including The Artist's Way, and a few well-known books into films.

18. Query/synopsis & 66 pages. |
|
The agent's reader read it first (the reader turns out to be the daughter of the man who wrote both the play & filmscript of Driving Miss Daisy), then the agent, then the agent called & asked for the whole ms. It is looooooong so I was nervous about that but she loves it & had such good things to say about it that I am in a dream state to be sure. Not sure what you mean by "cold calling". It was "cold sending," as when I sent the query/synopsis/66pp she didnt know me from Adam.

20. Thanks but it's gotta be sold first! |
|
But just getting an agent feels huge to me, like I have somebody on my side that's in that world & has sold plenty good stuff before.
