Until now my writing life has been in the pre-agent years. Years of writing, learning craft, reading kidlit books, finding ideas, building community, and participating in kidlit activities.

Also years of submitting. Researching hundreds of agents to see who I wanted to work with, getting my work as ready as possible, and sending it out into the world.

It was work! Lots and lots of work. BUT, that phase is over. I have an agent!!!

I will be working with Kaitlyn Sanchez at Olswanger Literary. Kaitlyn is fairly new to agenting, but that’s okay. I’m new too. I’m so happy to be starting our careers together. We will both grow and learn and make beautiful books. I couldn’t be happier with my current state!

I have a feeling the hard work has just begun, but now I have a partner to help me get closer to my goals of publishing. It’s an exciting time.
