The Query Question

I recently had a friend ask me how I got my agent with the idea being that she also would like to pursue publication. But when I started explaining, her eyes glazed over and she got that funny twitch in the corner of her mouth that people get when they’re like, “Are you kidding me??”

It occurred to me that I remember thinking when I was at that point that I wish someone would just sit down and explain the process step-by-step for me. Guess what? It’s your lucky day because I’m going to do that now for you!
