On Agents

One of the scariest and most exciting emails a prospective writer can get is the one from a literary agent that says, "I like how this sounds, can I see more?"

I went almost six months of not hearing anything positive from agencies about Seafear -- a lot of no responses, and almost the rest form rejections. Then, I got my first ever request for a full. For those who don't speak publishing, a full is exactly what it sounds like -- a request to see your full manuscript. So I sent out Seafear.

It was ultimately rejected, but less than two weeks later, I got a second request for a full. I think I'm onto something now.
