NETWORKING 101

I just sent off a cover letter, synopsis, and Chapters 1-3 of Godtalk to the Serendipity Literary Agency and president Regina Brooks, a very nice lady I met at the Southern California Writers Conference last month.

As I said in an earlier post, I pitched her the novel using a pitch I'd written in an earlier workshop that day, which was fun.

But the neat thing is: she said that if I referred to the SCWC on the outside envelope, I would move to the top of the pile and get a better reading! I'm not sure that Godtalk is her thing necessarily, but I'll be interested in hearing what she thinks.

I revised the first three chapters based on what I learned at the conference, and I think they really cook.

I'm really pumped about the book's chances. I'm hoping it's just a matter of time. . .

While it's a bit like winning the lottery, even they say you can't win if you don't play.
