Shaina Jerome asked Penelope Douglas:

Hi, Penelope! When you began to query for agents for Bully, how long did it take you to sign with someone? How long did it take for a publisher to buy the manuscript? How long before you were able to pursue writing full-time? I apologize if my questions are too invasive. Love your work! I cannot wait for Will and Emmy's story and the next gen Fall Away books!!

Penelope Douglas Hey, Shaina!

I'm actually not the best person to ask about that. I was very lucky, because all I did was write. Everything else fell in my lap. My agent contacted me after Bully took off, and then after Until You was published, she put in calls to publishers. That only took a matter of weeks before we had interest. I didn't have to do any leg work to get my agent, or else I'm not sure I would have one. Lol.

And thank you! I'm so excited for every book to come. I wish I write faster!

xoxo
