Update on LB Book: Need Literary Agent

[Band_Groupie 3]

Just thought I'd give you all an update on where I am with the LB book (since YOU are the ones here who talked me into this LOL). I'm hanging out my HELP WANTED sign to find a great Literary Agent.

I'm proud and happy to say that after working on this letter and agents list the last month, the first batch of my query letters to Literary Agencies (to find a book Agent for the Lap-Band book) went out yesterday! ...Please let me know if you know anyone in the buisiness I could send my query to!

Some days I get discouraged (and I want to spend more time here with all of you), but then I remember all those 'What's going on? My Doctor never told me there was a Bandster Hell!' posts and blogs that we all still see and I remember why I'm doing this.

I was so nervous pressing that 'Send' button for the Query the first time...I was sitting there with my finger over the button and I was reminded of all those times writing one of my 'headband' blogs here on LBT and wondering if I should press 'publish' or not...and then I remembered how I was always glad I did. Most agencies say about 4 weeks wait for a reply. It's like sending out college applications and then waiting nervously....

Published or not, I'm glad I'm doing this and I want you all to know, I'm giving it my best! Game on!

I don't know agents, but I am a writer/editor (the nature of my writing doesn't require that I be agented); if you find that you need another set of eyes to prepare the manuscript (or receive feedback that this is necessary) let me know--I'll be glad to help you out. Editors can be expensive, and I'd be glad to spare you that expense.
