UPDATE! I finished my first-ever pitch was asked to submit pages to the agent! 📖 She loved it and seemed greatly entertained~
Then we talked about our mutual love for Arkady Martime and the Teixcalaan duology.

As a right of passage I’ve officially received my first agent rejection (the first of many!) and it was very kind and they said they loved my pitch but were not interested in reading further.

In an hour I’m pitching a book to an agent via Zoom.
I have practised many times and have a nice shirt ready to wear for the meeting.
I must remember to do my tongue twisters before I go live.
Fingers crossed.

As I said in the the teaser below, #amquerying and #ampitching aren't roads that offer creative output.
But I thrive on that. So, between now and both #QuestPit and #CuPit, I'm going to start posting these short stories, making them available for folks to read.

The road to #ampitching or #amquerying is long and doesn't really offer a *great* deal creative output in and of itself.
So, while I'm going down that road with #Helen🏺, I do have a side project I'm beginning to feel just a little bit excited to announce.
Here's a teaser.
