I'm not sure if I should say who yet, but yesterday I got the e-mail I've been dreaming of, offering representation.
Three years ago I was scratching out over'LY' used adverbs, narrating the bejaysus out of text, and more or less doing all the things noob writers are prone to do.
Thanks to the help and support of AW friends, I've been ironing-out the wrinklies, tightening my prose, and having more fun with the craft than ever before. And it's now paying off.
So a big thank you to everyone in QLH, Flash, and MOST, MOST especially, the AW chat forums. You know who you are. You guys ROCK!
