Trying to distract myself

My literary agent submitted my manuscript OPEN UP YOUR MIND AND THINK LIKE ME to 35 publishers on Monday. One said she’s excited about the marketing possibilities for an 80′s setting, and several said they were going to start reading it now.

This seems like a good time to finish my PTO communications work and head to the cabin for three weeks. Ali says this stage could take up to six months. Thank god I have some fun consulting gigs lined up for this Fall.

    Sweet family will continue to send positive karma/good thoughts to universe. can. not. wait. for OPEN UP YOUR MIND AND THINK LIKE ME to be published. YOU ROCK KATIE PIERSON.

    Fingers crossed for your book! We have the same agent and the waiting and wondering (and hoping) is killing me. I have faith in Ali though :-) Your book sounds great, btw.

    Good luck!

      hi laurie, i just checked this site for the first time in weeks and found your nice comment. thanks! tell me about your project and where you are in the process. and are you in the u.s. or canada?

        Hi Kate: Ali has a picture book of mine out on submission. I accidentally ran across your site and noticed that our projects were both going out about the same time. So I have my fingers crossed for both of us :-) I’m in the U.S., by the way. I could sure relate to your most recent post. This August has been stressful!

        Hang in there! That unofficial interested editor sounds promising ;-)

        Laurie
