Query for Phyre and Flame

2/23/2021

0 Comments

 
A couple of weeks ago, I got an agent! I’d been querying my young-adult alien romance (PHYRE AND FLAME) since April of 2020, but this wasn’t the first time I queried a book. I started querying agents with my earlier works years ago.

Over the course of last year, I revised my query, synopsis, and first couple of pages of Phyre and Flame a few different times. In the summer of 2020, I received two full requests, but the agents ended up passing. During November/December, I revised my query again, edited the opening pages of my book, and began querying the newest version in Jan 2021. Boom! I received representation from an agent.

What does this mean now?

Now, my agent will be submitting the book to specific publishers, and the waiting game begins again. But I don’t mind the waiting! Meanwhile, I’m making final revisions to the middle-grade book I wrote last year and will be sending it her way too. This way, she’ll have two of my books to send to different publishers (since one is YA and one is MG). 

What's my goal?

Ultimately, I want my book(s) to be placed on bookstore shelves worldwide so that more people can access them. I used to not be the type of person to say my goals aloud to others, but I've taken a new approach the past few months. Saying my goals aloud puts them into the universe! And I'm all about that.
