Frankie's BIG NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (cross posted)


So I have an agent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SQUEEE!!!!!

I've been going crazy, squeeing with this news--and I'm so excited to share it with you guys!

And of course, pictures!

Signing my contract!


Hugging my contract!


And then hugging Donna who was AMAZING throughout the whole process (and took the pictures)--as were my other awesome FNC chicas, Janine and Sara!!!!



I also need to give MAJOR shout outs and THANK YOUs to my Querying Support Team. For an entire month, these ladies dealt with all manner of crazy emails from me, obsessing, questioning, sharing news and excitement, and replying to some emails that just didn't make any sense. Thank you sooooo much:

Lisa and Laura Roecker


Sarah Wylie






















Shannon also gets double duty thanks for being an amazing beta reader! And serious thank yous for fabulous beta reading as well as putting up with strange emails from me in the last month go to:
THANK YOU!!! You were all awesome and I just want to hug everyone!

And ok, you're probably wondering who I signed with, right?

The answer:

Laura Rennert
Andrea Brown Literary Agency, Inc.


I am so happy, and excited, I don't even know what to do with myself. But the best part about this entire thing...I'm off my writing break! YAY!Along with my contract came my editorial letter--squee! So I'm back in the game, doing what I LOVE best--writing and revising. And this time, I'm working with Laura!

Stay tuned because next week is AGENT WEEK--I'll be fulfilling my deal with the universe, having an epic contest and sharing what I can with you everything I learned about the querying process:-)

Also, this post needs just one more squee.

So...

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!

    Oh Frankie, I love you so much. You are one of the only people I know who could totally dance your ass off for the camera. You are fearless and so freaking fun. I'm totally going to have to channel you if we ever have to do the LilaLympics.

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You worked hard and you earned this and I can't WAIT to see what comes next. XOXO

    P.S.
    Which FNC member will get snapped up next? My money is on Donna!

    Wow, Frankie. If that's how excited you get by landing an agent (of course, one of the awesomest agents ever), I can't wait to see how you react when you get a publishing contract!

    CONGRATULATIONS!!
