And just sent an offer of representation to an author that I’ve only read a small chunk of her book and I can’t stop laughing !! The race is on to see if I can land the client again….. this stresses me out! Lol

I will be participating in
#JoyPit
today! If I ❤️ your pitch, please send your query and first 2 chapters to katie
@sbrmedia
.com and include "JoyPit" somewhere in the subject line.
Opening my query manager again.. I was able to get things cleared out faster than I had anticipated.
Still looking for the perfect 90’s romcom, hysterical picture books, the epic romance with your atypical ending.

My query box has 50 queries in it! That filled up fast! It’s only been open for 6 days! 😳
I will leave it open until Friday, December 1st and then it will be closed for the foreseeable future.

The pressure is on… I requested a full and others have the potential to steal it from me… I already lost one manuscript last week to another agent…. Don’t want to let that happen again!

Being an agent isn’t fun all the time. We have things we don’t want to do, rejections we don’t want to write let alone send. We are not robots, and sometimes we have to do things that crush us a little bit…..

Story time!
The last time I had a query (this one is a bit different that the norm) and signed the writer:
I was at a book signing a few weeks ago and attended as an agent. I was booked back to back with meeting my current clients as well as new potential clients for the agency
Doesn’t everyone’s kid who drove 5.5 hours out of state for a cheer comp leave their entire suitcase (including uniform and all) at home??? 😭😭😭 in my defense he drove with his dad….. 🤦🏼♀️
Busy day over here agenting..
-Connected with an author I met in April after not hearing from her after a pitch session.
-Offered a meeting for representation
-New submissions sent out!

Querying authors: give yourself permission to take the next month off from hoping. Agencies & publishers are closing up for the holidays, and your heart needs a break.
I know it seems like we're seeing a lot of agent announcements today, but these are likely it until January.
Friends, never hold out on me with your links to moodboards, playlists, Pinterest boards, sketches, or anything else that brings your query to life. I wanna see it all while I read your manuscript!
Anyone else go to bed with a long list of things they are determined to accomplish the next day and when they wake up to accomplish them, they just want to drink coffee and read all day?
Asking for a friend 😏
Woohoo look at that 800!!
When I hit an undisclosed number of followers I will reopen my query link for 24 hours!
No, I won’t tell you what that number is, don’t ask.

Prep Zoom replay!
We go through the Google entry forms in detail, share tips and stats from last year, and answer tons of questions!
I also included a slideshow of some of the amazing graphics Sylvia Chen created.
I am so excited to announce that I am now represented by the amazing
@LitAgentKatieM
of SBR Media! I cannot wait to work alongside you to bring my manuscripts to life. Let’s rock this!
Well I totally blew it today with the updates! I walked 6.5 miles in high heels (I know I know), learned a ton from Amazon (in their gorgeous new building) and ate some amazing food!
