Hi everyone. Something unexpected happened a few days ago, and since it has to do with my writing, I figured I'd share in my IWSG post. So, here's what went down: One of my ninja aunts went to a writer's conference, and…she pitched one of my books. AND she got 2 requests.
This
came as a complete shock to me.
Basically, she signed up to do one of those agent-dating services, read
my query letter for one book and told them about my other manuscripts and
yeah. That's how it happened. And it gets even more interesting. One of the agents she pitched had already
requested and rejected the same manuscript back in 2011 after I got my offer of
rep.
Anyway,
I figure if anything comes of this it would be a great story. If not, my ninja aunt still has mad pitching skills. It's been a tough time recently, so this was a nice surprise.
Hope
you're having a great week,
Ninja

Ninja aunt wants you to write your book reviews. She misses them. Stop being an insecure writer; you have awesome writing skills.
