You Humans Are Driving Me Insane

Guys

If you have a manuscript to query

QUERY THAT SHIT.

Do you think an agent's going to come down your chimney and offer you representation?

SEND THE GODDAMN LETTERS.

I'm querying. I'm querying already.

I've got 60 out there.

The agents I haven't queried request synopses, or they're snail mail.

Uhm, yes. This doesn't happen?

I might be the kind of person you're talking to. I'll go stand in the corner.

They effin suck, Sage.

Guys, if you don't send your queries Imma make email accounts in your name and WRITE QUERIES FOR YOU AND SEND THEM.

THEN WHAT.

I love this- Hannah girl, you rock. Once I get this mother done- I'm going to read this post five times a day as I'm relentlessly plastering QueryTown with my Manu~ Squealing joyfully as I go. Can hardly wait to spear head the mystical world of agentry with my letter head. Yee ha and all that, Hannah~ you make this even more fun.

MBee said...

I'm working on it! I swears it! On a whole stack of beat up bibles! I'm getting very close to the end. You'll be the first to know when it's done :)
