I stayed up all night and waited, researched and came to a conclusion: I could actually sell to Harlequin.
I usually don't think that about my writing, but Harlequin has changed so very much, and they're such a large publishing house, I can't be in the romance writing business without at least coming close to sending something to them for a look-see.
Today was the day for PRO and PAN status members of RWA® to have an opportunity to get an appointment at conference with an agent or an editor. I made my list out, stayed up all night, and waited like a hawk for the links to the registration online to become available.
I decided to try out an agent named Kim Lionetti of BookEnds, LLC. Something in her face and her bio made me feel at ease and I'm hoping that will carry forward in our pitch session. I've decided that, perhaps, I should mail her when my appointment confirmation comes, to tell her how much I am looking forward to meeting her and thank her in advance for her time.
My first choice for editor was Rose Hilliard of St. Martin's Press, inc. I have this feeling about St. Martin's and Spellbinder that I can't seem to shake. However, her bookings were already full. I will be querying St. Martin's prior to conference, I think.
However, I was able to get an appointment with Kristi Studts of Triskelion. I like their heat ratings, and their disclaimers don't really talk about ages too much so they might like what I have written. I'm hoping so.
Anyway, I have loads of work cut out for me, both getting the house clean enough to not drive me crazy while I recuperate, and in getting the writing going and getting it done before conference.
