Pickling in own stomach acid

I’ve spent the last few months revising my manuscript, resubmitting it to my agent, and chewing my cuticles while she packages it (in the marketing sense) and shops it around to editors.

Just received this email from her at the end of the Book Expo America in NYC:

“. . the fair was an amazing success and your manuscript is in high demand! Apparently contemporary, reality-based literary fiction is making a comeback! I’m so excited to be going out with your work soon! “

Great, right?

Actually, I have no idea what this means.

Am trying hard not to stalk her, but I want to tap dance on Ali’s dinner table and ask, “Do editors like me, Me, ME or is it that non-vampire books are in high demand?”
