August 15, 2012. That’s the date I was offered representation by a literary agent.
She likes the way I write. Loved the story.
Me: (pinching self).
She wanted to sign me.
Me: (pinching self).
She would send the contract.
Me: (pinching self).
Got contract. Signed. Sent back.
Me: (pinching self).
Editing. Editing. Editing.
Me: (still pinching self).
Congratulations! Cute way to break the news on your blog, too.
By the way, love your website template. Is it new? I remember it as being different from this one, but maybe I’m just going crazy…Either way, it looks great – very clean and professional, with nice fonts and the fun light-up social networking buttons.
Thanks, Caryn! Yes, the template is new because the old one focused on my YA writing and I needed something that would also work for my contemporary romance too.
Oh, good! I thought I was losing my mind. 😀
Looks great!
I am so happy for your good news, Sonya! I love the new look on your website.
Thanks, Suzanne!
Awesome, congrats on the news! I bet you have bruises from all the pinching–I probably would too! 🙂
LOL…seems surreal some days. Thanks for stopping by!
Yippee and welcome to the Agency! Super excited to watch your writing journey! …and I’m already plotting another contest. 😀
Thanks, Marisa! It still feels surreal and I’ll spread the word about the contest as soon as you announce it!
ALL THE PINCHING! I wandered around in a daze, husband made fun of me haha.
A big congratulations to you too!
Fun story to read, Sonya! How many bruises did you have from pinching yourself?!?!?
Too many to count LOL. The more I learn about the agent, Nicole Resciniti and the agency, The Seymour Agency, the more I feel so verklempt at being a part. They are an amazing group of people!
We think you’re amazing, too, Sonya! 😀 So glad to have you as part of the Seymour Agency “family”!
Thanks, Kate. Your Christmas cookie fail made me snort with laughter! LOVE your sense of humor.
Hooray for another cool Seymour sib call story! Sounds like those bruises were worth it.
I read your Before the Call post -“Pet head of fragile author” LOL I’m going to go talk about you on Twitter ; -)
I love how you ended it with “still pinching self.” So nice to meet another sweet and funny agency family member! Thank you for the Twitter love today. 🙂
Congrats Sonya! Nothing like living the dream. Enjoy!
Thanks, Jim from one former Hoosier to another!
I know exactly how you feel. I’m still pinching myself as well.
A huge congratulations to you too!!
