If you need to reach me, you'll have to go through my AGENT

Yep! That's the news!

My new agent is Rebecca Strauss of McIntosh & Otis. I'm thrilled!

I will be using exclamation points at the end of every sentence today! Maybe even more than one!!

Travis Erwin said...

Super news. Way to go.

But I am a tad envious.

Janna Qualman said...

SO pleased for you! (I was gonna say thrilled, but I see that word already. ;) Congrats! And good luck, here on out.

WendyCinNYC said...

Thanks so much, everyone!

I emailed you, Moonrat.

Congrats! I would say more, but I can feel my seething jealousy bubbling over into an explosion of hateful jealousy ending in endorphin fueled anxiety attack triggered by a wellspring of insercuty.

So again...congrats!

:-D

(I will only explain the above by stating that I over indulged on snarky self-referring web comics during the weekend. Like this one. http://www.questionablecontent.net :=)

Congratulations, Wendy -- that's John Steinbeck's old firm, ya know...

WendyCinNYC said...

Between AW, Facebook, and here, I feel like I've said "thank you" a zillion times in the last 12 hours. But ya know, it never gets old!

So thank you for all your kind words.

Melanie Avila said...

I feel like I've been saying it all over the place - I'm so fricking excited for you! Yay!!!

You don't need to thank me again. :P

WendyCinNYC said...

Oh, but I will.

Thank you!

Amy Nathan said...

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Look what happens when I'm offline most of a day or two -- I miss something really exciting! That'll teach me!

WAY TO GO!

robinbridges said...

Congrats again! I saw moonrat's post and thought, Hey, I know who that is!

Linda said...

Congrats! Saw the good news on Moonie's blog. Thrilled. You give me hope. Liked your shorts in BLM and 6S, too (I hang there, too). What novel(s) hooked your agent? Peace, Linda

Vegas Linda Lou said...

Coming over from Debra's site to say "CONGRATULATIONS!!!" Good for you! All the best.

spyscribbler said...

Oh, Wendy, that's absolutely wonderful news! I am SO thrilled for you! And see?! I'm going to use exclamation points for the rest of the day, in celebration!

WendyCinNYC said...

Thanks! And welcome, newcomers! Grab a chair and stay a while.

Linda--6S gave me my first "yes" and it was just the ego boost I needed. It's fun to try to tell a story in 6 sentences.

Natalie Willis said...

Cue the booty shaking, wave your arms like you just don't care, "WOOHOO" shouting happy dance!
Congrats!!
Love,
Natalie

CONGRATS! YAYYYYYY!

Usman said...

Congratulations.
I'm sure we've met either one of two places
1 You put your query on AW to be ground by the Jim's squirrels.
2 Yoy took part in The Dickens Challenge, courtesy Tim Hallinan.

Either way, Enjoy.

Kristina said...

WENDY!!! TERRIFIC news!


When do you go on submission, you think? Stock up on valium or your preferred relaxation aid.

ac said...

One step closer to publication, girly girl. Fantastic!

WendyCinNYC said...

Natalie and Kathryn--Thanks!

Usman--I posted my query months ago on AW, so I'm sure you were one of the people who ripped it all to hell. Thanks for that.

Kristina--Thanks! She's giving me notes for a revisions first, so I don't know yet. I'll have to find some project to distract me when I'm out on submission.

AC--Thanks! Yay!
