<–Previous Comic<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 Next Comic–><\/a><\/p>\n

First off, I’m happy to say isn’t just a hypothetical situation I wrote up for this comic.\u00a0 (In case you’re curious, I ended up signing with the agent who asked me to cut 30,000 words out of my book–the situation from this previous comic<\/a>.)\u00a0 Getting representation feels like a giant step forward–and I’m hoping it is!–but once you’re out of the query trenches, it’s not like you’re home free. . . .<\/p>\n

So now that I no longer have to query agents to ask if they want to represent my novel, my agent gets to start querying publishers to see if they want to take a look at my book.\u00a0 And the cycle begins again.\u00a0 I’m glad to say my agent seems confident that publishers are going to fight over me, but I’m far too jaded to expect it to be easy. . . .<\/p>\n

But who knows.\u00a0 Maybe soon I’ll be doing comics about bashing my head in over line edits from the publishers and stressing over cover concepts and sequels and movie deals, huh?<\/p>\n

We’re swinging for a three-book deal for my fantasy trilogy starting I guess this week, so wish me luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
