CGs, and yes, tenacity is not only the key, it's a whole bunch of them.

You guys are so awesome. It's taking forever to get the contract back (and yet I only sent it a week ago) They said they received it (so that was good) and will be processing it this week (which was actually last week since this is the weekend now.) So soon guys, sorry about the wait in my announcement. I probably shoulda waited to post, my fault. I was just so excited.

I told them about my other YA and the editor was interested from the sample and synopsis that I sent her (no guarantees) but at least she's interested reading the whole ms. I'm praying she'll want that too.

It's official! I finally got my contract back. I can now announce my new publisher...(drum roll please) lol

It's the Poisoned Pencil (a YA imprint of the Poisoned Pen) and I couldn't be happier. It's so brand new, I'm actually their first acceptance!

Thank you everyone for helping me with this.
