Congratulations! I know I’m not the only querying writer excited to see you back agenting. I can’t wait to see who you’ll be taking on, particularly in the MG space.

Congrats! If we already queried you and never closed it on our end (on query tracker), do we need to resubmit or will you work through those older queries? Thanks and happy to see you back in action!

You'll need to resubmit as I've had to create a new account. Thanks so much!

Congratulations! I think a mixed/portfolio career is really interesting and can be more fulfilling than the 9 to 5, especially in the creative industries. Just a question of keeping it manageable, like you say... Look forward to reading updates.

I'm glad you think so, I'm really enjoying the variety of it (despite the organizational challenges)! And thank you. :)

Congrats! I'm in a similar position with communications work. I had been with a company for 16 years and my position was eliminated. I've picked up some contract work and we will see what else the universe brings. It's challenging, but your experience helps me to stay positive and optimistic (all while querying too!).

Fantastic! I appreciate your kindness, skills and ethics.

As my output includes picture books, non-fiction how-to paper crafts and history/antiques for teens and adults, I presume we are not the best fit for representation. However, I do have a completed 50,000 word Upper-MG contemporary novel with STEM and historical elements. Do you include Beta-reading in your freelance services?

Thanks....and for all that you share with us. Wishing you an exciting and rewarding new blend of endeavours.

Thanks so much, Peter - always nice to hear from you! We might not be the best fit with the non-fiction, but I certainly could look at beta reading for you. (What I would call an 'editorial report'.) Do get in touch via Reedsy if you fancy it!
