Extremely helpful, Kayla! Thank you for sharing! I’m still in the querying trenches for 2 years, but not willing to give up

Organized Virgos unite! I’ve used coda the last few years :) Fully relate!

Loved this journey & congrats on your new agent! One day I’d like to jump in the arena, but still getting my ducks in a row.

This is awesome. And relatable. At least up until the point of actually querying because I keep saying I'm going to do that and I keep not doing it. Story of my life. And congrats on getting the dummy together! I hope it becomes a magnificent new shiny book in the not too distant future!

This is the most helpful guild I’ve ever read on agents! Thank you so much!! The specificity of your experience is so valuable.

How did you find your querying group? I think that’s such a brilliant way to support one another!

Oooo, I'm so curious of who you queried as I feel like I recognize some of the code names hah.

And gosh, it's such a timing game as well with applying.

I'll definitely share as I've had some friends that have wanted to switch from illustration agencies to literary agencies.
