I've been down and under. Eight drafts later, I'm sending my novel out into the world, one query at a time. Hope is the word.
Any recommendations for agents who are open to a deeply cultural story set in India?

I should be writing/editing, but all I want to do is absorb some of the beauty spilled here by amazing writers.
Thanks to everyone who writes and publishes great pieces.

Just finished reading all 670 pages of “The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny”—a marvel that encompasses love, longing, familial obligations, cultural limitations, and much more! Besides, Sunny and Sonia, the book is replete with other unforgettable characters and a surfeit of quote-worthy lines.

I return to my draft every morning, tending to it like a baby that doesn't cry or demand time and attention. Just waits. Wasn't sure before, but I am in love with it.
