Word came from Agent Erin this week that my latest revision of Smith did the trick, so this middle-grade biography is ready to make the rounds among editors. This will be the first manuscript that we’ve sent out as a pair to an editor I wasn’t already working with, and I’m excited to see how the process works.
The one last thing I needed to do was put together my bibliography for Smith, which I took care of late last night. So, now I think I’ll reward myself with a little break.
Well, that was nice.
This morning I was up at my usual 5 a.m., sending out interview requests for the proposal I’m working on for E.F., which would be for young adults. Meanwhile, I’m waiting on a bunch of library books to help me get started researching another YA project I’d like to propose (it’s so new, I don’t have a pseudonym for it yet), and I also need to completely rewrite some sample text for Holiday, another picture book biography I want to pitch.
Good thing I’ll be fortifying myself today with some BBQ.
That’s great about the manuscript being ready to find a home! Good luck with it!!
Now enjoy that Texas BBQ for me… it’s Texas Independence Day, after all, & I’m a little homesick for the Lone Star State today!

Congrats on your news, Chris. Sending out your book with an agent must feel a bit like watching your oldest go out on a first date.

Thanks, Alison and Kim.
Alison, the BBQ didn’t happen — the joint was closed for remodeling, which maybe just means that the red-checkered vinyl tablecloths were being replaced.
Kim, I think I know what you mean about the first date, but now I can’t shake the image of S out at dinner without one of his parents around to wipe the pizza sauce off his ear.
