Look What I Found In My Mailbox This Morning!

15 Comments

I’ve gotten several agent letters that open with warm words. What I’ve never experienced before was one that kept them up the whole way through!

Dear Caroline,
I read MAY B this weekend, and I love it. The language is beautiful, it’s page-turning, and there are so many wonderfully emotional moments. I’d love to talk with you about it sometime this week. Would Wednesday or Thursday work? Let me know.

I will keep all of you posted. Natalie, I have to thank you again for your amazing insight and direction. This new ending is so much stronger than what I had before.

One step closer…

    Congratulations!! That is AWESOME!! It’s always a good thing when they want to “talk” to you! 🙂 I’ll keep my fingers crossed, but it doesn’t sound like that will be necessary!
