Cindy's Rock

Sorry, I'm such a blog slacker.

So big news for Cindy's everywhere--Cyn Marolt, one of my local RWA chapter sistas and dear friends and super great crit partners, scored an agent and an auction in like 24 hours. OK, maybe it was just a scoach longer than that, but seriously not by much. AND I got to read the book that made it all happen, and I gotta say that it deserves all this NYC-love, I tell you. It is unbelievably great. I'm looking forward to reading again when it gets back from the editor and again when it is an ARC and again when it hits the shelves.

So, I've been vicariously living through her successes, and I think her story really shows how a great an agent, and not just any agent--but one with experience and clout, who is so excited about your projects that she needs super, extra-hold hair spray to keep her bangs from blowing back when she's reading it--is to have.

Yes, we could all be so lucky, and not all can even cherry-pick, but Cyn was offered representation several months ago and she decided it just wasn't right for her and without any guarantees about another offer, she kept searching. So be patient, my pretties, make smart choices. Breathe.
