"I am offering you representation."
~ Sara Crowe
"Sara, you're the one I really want!"
~Peggy Eddleman
Yeah. When Sara called yesterday to get my answer, I'm pretty sure that's actually what I blurted as soon as I heard her voice. It's just that it's Sara Crowe! She's been my dream agent ever since I heard her speak on panels and I pitched THROUGH THE BOMB'S BREATH to her at a conference last May. I love her! I consider myself a million kinds of crazy fortunate to be able to call her my agent.
I'll spare you my happy dance. And my happy song. I did it for 45 minutes straight last night, and I think it might have scarred my kids for life. Instead, have a happy cookie! It's probably less embarrassing for me, anyway.
