Thank you again!
Congratulations!!!

Wow, that must be one hell of a book!!! And you must have written an amazing query as well.

You are a poster child for a point I'm constantly trying to make: that literary agents really are reading, and that excellence is recognized. I have a student with zero "platform" or publishing connections who got offers of representation from 4 or 5 different agents; the one she went with sold her first book to Random House.

Congratulations! Enjoy every moment.

Dang, that's good. You make getting agented sound easy. Best of luck your final decision.
