I HAVE AN AGENT, GUYS.
I'm beyond thrilled to announce that I am now officially represented by the fantastic Molly Jaffa of Folio Literary Management!
*screaming* *jumping around* *dancing*
A literary agent! Of my very own! I seriously have no idea how to write this post. I'm filled with so many different emotions. This post could be brimming with:
a. Euphoria
b. Optimism
c. Gratitude
So by way of a warning, I plan to use a few different posts to cover this monumental event in my writing career. In fact, I think I'll use one post to cover each of the emotions I mentioned above. In the next few days, you guys get to hear the WHOLE SORDID TALE. (I know! I'm so generous.)
Today, is the euphoria.
This post will include some GUSHING about Molly. Because she really is awesome! And I know everyone says that about their agents, but I absolutely mean it. Molly is sharp and funny, and super nice. I'm SO excited to work with her!
This post will also include more *screaming* *jumping around* and *dancing*!!
This post will include far too many exclamation points!
In the end, on a day like this there's really only one thing to say:
PARTY IN THE COMMENTS SECTION!! Dr. Peppers for everyone!! Today they shall flow without end!
Check in again Thursday for my Optimism post. I'm going to tell you guys the story of my journey to this moment. (Spoiler Alert: It was long.) Until then, ROCK ON. :)

Congratulations, Renee!! That's awesomely amazing! I love it!! Keep us posted on all the amazing things that will come your way!
This is such good news. You know, I didn't know how I would get through the rest of my night. I mean, I still have a pee and vomit clean-up from my son. But reading this has totally perked me up. Not even vomit and pee can drag me down. Okay, that's a little over dramatic, but I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU. Which book did she represent you on anyway? Searcher? Mermaid? Mysterious book #3? Or did she just hear you were friends with me? Yup, that's probably it. Anyway, you deserve this. I am so going to hold you to that Dr. Pepper.
Congratulations!!! How exciting- can't wait to hear all about it!
Alex-Thank you so much!
Kathryn-Thanks! I can't wait to write it. :)
Nikki-Thanks!! It's been so great to share this with everyone. :)
Jessie-Yeesh, sorry about the pee and vomit. I've been there. Oh yes, I've been there. But thank you for dropping by anyway!
btw, the offer is for Searcher of all things! It's kind of a crazy story. But a good story. :)
Abby-Thank you!!!
Yay! Congrats!! Can't wait to hear all the juicy details. :) :)
YAY YAY YAY!!! I've been out of the loop all day & only just heard!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What wonderful, fantastic, and deserved news! :) :) :)
Elana-Thank you!! I'm excited to share the story! :)
Stephanie-Thank you so much! I appreciate you stopping by! :D
Ren :) I am so happy for you! Thanks for sharing your joy with all of us. You give us all motivation to dream... and to work... and to keep trying!!!
That's amazing! Congrats and good luck with everything... I always love hearing the good news/how it all happened stories. :)
You know how excited I am!!! Congrats!!! And *HUGS* :)
I was just thinking that you are so lucky because you can now put in your profile that you are repped by an agent. Anyway I sent congratulations to you from my blog post today. Where's my Dr. Pepper?
