Manuscript Progress
On Friday, I received a request from an agent for my full manuscript of Freshman 15. Luckily, the agent requested it via e-mail and I was able to send it off within hours of receiving the request. I had to sign a release form and that will be on it's way to NYC tomorrow. It was incredibly exciting to have another request for a full. Hopefully, I'm not the only one who thinks my manuscript is good. :) In the short time that I've been querying agents, I've learned a good deal of info. I've spent days researching agencies, what's "hot" in publishing, why not to follow what's hot in publishing, scary stats of how many authors publish his/her first book and bios of editors and agents. Before I query any agent, I try to get all of the necessary stats (college attended, hobbies, clients) and always attempt to tie something of that sort into my query. Does it help? Who knows.

Another full request? That's awesome, Jessica! Congrats!
ps - I may be picking your brain about some of those stats and such soon. I'm in full publishing research mode at the moment.
Thanks, Mary! Of course, when/if you have questions just ask away. :)
