A note: When we (agents) try to be nice and respond with a specific reason (which you asked for) about a rejection, and you don't handle it well is one big reason why we (agents) use form rejections. We can't change the state of the industry, even when we wish we could.
My clients are so sweet!
Happy book birthday month to my wonderful literary agent, @JenNewens! These mocktails are beautiful, fun & non-alcoholic! 🩵 #authors #mocktails #newbooks #writingcommunity

I just sent back my revisions to the copyedited manuscript of my book, Street Cats and Where to Find Them! Next time I see my book, it'll be to approve page proofs in October! 😻😻
I'm so incredibly grateful to have a remarkable team helping to bring this special book to life!💜
Can’t WAIT to get my hands on this book!
