Thank you, I’m with a small press and am giving this new book a shot with agents/bigger publishers. I’ve been agented before. I know it is a tough industry.

Congratulations on getting *Editor’s Guide for Dad Bodies* ready for the next stage! An agented horror project heading toward submission is an exciting milestone, and that title definitely grabs attention. What kind of horror can readers expect from it?

I’ve heard people being advised not to expect anything within nine months, a year, eighteen months. Just for a reply from an editor? From an agented submission?

A snapshot of the article, which reads: Note: Editors and agents, we have over 200 amazing pitches for your to view and request. We've already have over 60 requests so far! Thank you to those of you who have stopped by. You still have 11 more days to view pitches of unagented and agented kids-YA graphic novels, and illustrator portfolios.
