Should he sit back and wait to be taken—or risk everything on the hope of the other side?Great interview, and I can’t wait for TAKEN either.
In 2018, I had a total of 48 agent rejections before I got my agent.
In every batch of queries I sent out, I included one or two pie-in-the-sky people. It came about for many reasons. While I appreciate the regularity of the paycheck and the pretty casual environment, I do know that it’s not for me – at least not in a “forever” sense.
Sounds right up my alley. I fell into my position. She has many debuts among her recent sales and hopes to keep it that way. Changes in e-books have changed the way we do contracts–we are always adapting and revisiting our boilerplates to keep up.I sought out both my current jobs, a stay at home mother and a writer. None of them feel like they have much magic to them, but I’m revising them and continuing to push myself to produce more.Used with permission from Debbie Ridpath Ohi at Inkygirl.comI really want to go to outer space. Sara really is an incredible agent. It was all about Gray. Thanks for the interview, it was really interesting and I’ll be adding Taken to my goodreads list I have heard so many amazing things about UNSPOKEN and I still haven’t read it. If I found one, I mentioned it. I was concerned because Sara had only read one story, and I asked to pitch some more. (Only members with active Publishers Marketplace Web pages are listed.)

It is so strong. If some company ever starts selling rocket ship tickets I can afford, I’m definitely buying one.Not really.
!Excellent interview – and wow, do I ever want a copy of TAKEN! Maggie Stiefvater’s recent books (THE SCORPIO RACES and THE RAVEN BOYS) had be swooning for that exact reason.… This could be influenced by the fact that I’ve just finished Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan and WHOAI’m stalking your book, Erin… the premise reminds me of one of my favorite movies, The Island. Amazing how certain threads–sometimes very odd or seemingly negative threads–align to bring us to new places. And I can’t wait to read Taken!My literary cocktail would include fantasy/romance/thriller! I did insist on doing my homework, talking to a few of Sara’s clients, and having Sara actually read some additional manuscripts before I signed the agency agreement.
!Wow, talk about industry changes. T’would be a historical thriller with sci-fi and romance elements. She is consistently ranked among the top three YA agents in Publishers Marketplace. browse again: agents | editors ...

I think I fell into writing, since I started writing original work in college after a brief stint in Harry Potter fanfiction.Thanks for the great interview and this fantastic giveaway… I’m crossing my fingers!A well written character surrounded by a healthy dose of conflict, relationships, and drama.
