I finally dared

[lunalila]

Been out for most of the month and part of the other. Writing of course. I'm working on the huge YA that will take me an awful lot of time. I don't count on finishing soon. But it's big, it's magic and I'm enjoying the whole process

Congratulations on taking this next step. Good luck--I hope you get some encouraging responses.

Just daring been a great step. If I get a response at all, that would be great.

congratulations!

It's a big step. You'll be glad you took it, no matter the outcome.

I'm already glad but I'm scared too :)

Hey, you never know how your work will be recieved by industry pros unless you try. Here's hoping you'll be that lucky one who bags and agent on her first shot! If not, you're in great company with Rowlings, King, Julia Childs, Fitzgerald, Dr. Suess and many, many others.

Not an agent, I submitted directly to a publishing house.
In Spain getting an agent is not that mandatory. We only have a dozen or so agents and they mostly deal with published authors.
Publishing houses do accept non agented authors but I guess slush piles are big!

Congratulations! It's a big deal finally sending out a query - fingers crossed for you :)

Thanks! Will try to keep talking about the process even if outcome isn't positive.

Woo! That's even better. Good luck!
