My Little Announcement of BIG Proportions

Kate Schafer Testerman gave me an early Christmas present. She called last week to offer represent representation, so I am now a proud client of kt literary! Squeeeee!

You can check out Kate's announcement >>here<< and find me on her client list, as well.

This is how I feel about all this:


(Thank goodness for braces in this picture, right? I have a lot of teeth. And my mom will probably tell me I should've brushed my eyebrows.)

It's funny how at moments like these you feel so humbled and grateful and absolutely unworthy. Well, at least that's how I feel. Thanks for being with me on this crazy writing journey, all my bloggy-friends -- not to mention family and other friends who read this blog. Continuing this marathon-of-awesome would not be possible without you and I'm really not just saying that.

And thank you, Kate, for giving my books a chance. I'm so excited to work with you (as I've probably repeated ad nauseam)!
