NEW YEAR'S UPDATE

Here are some random updates:


* Susan Schulman--agent of Louis Sachar's Holes--passed on Godtalk, but said that that she liked it and that "there was much to recommend it." I took that as a good sign.

* Due to job responsibilites at work and health issues at home, I have not been able to pursue much writing in the last few months--either on Godtalk, School Spirit, or this blog.

* Nevetheless, two days ago I decided to at least send out a query or two on Godtalk, just to say I was doing SOMETHING to pursue the goal. So I sent two e-mail queries to Rachel Vater at Lowenstein-Yost and Jenny Bent at Trident Media Group, both heavy hitters in the industry.

* The VERY NEXT DAY, I received an e-mail from Jenny Bent's assistant asking for an author bio, synopsis, and three sample chapters.


HAPPY NEW YEAR!s
