I think I remain a bit of an outlier on my agent's client list, but she "gets" me completely and I think it shows when she sends out my work.<br /><br />That said, once you're past the agent hunting part, it does become more of a partnership which is a lovely and wondrous thing.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09803986849921870941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-54448811625432831582009-10-21T12:37:53.482-04:002009-10-21T12:37:53.482-04:00Thanks for stopping by, Joanne and Glynis.

LMAO. <br />And I love the twist on agent hunting. SO true.<br /><br />Although I didn't land an agent on my first great agent hunt (due to my rather strange plots), I had a wonderful experience with it. A lot of rejection but even the single 'Love the writing, can't sell the story' feedback made it worth the while. It did wonders for my confidence levels.Kimber Chinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13658012405712901099noreply@blogger.com
