Completing an engaging manuscript has added meaningful moments into my life. I am that writer. Working hard to write something meaningful feels validating, but literary agents bring creditability to the publishing process. I love every aspect of that process. Rejection allows for renewed observation and corrections that may be possible. Negativity is a choice we make.
Finding a connection with an agent can be one of the most rewarding additions during the publishing process. I am a newbie to the querying process and still learn often. Some agents give advice, and others do not. Receiving a rejection full of politeness and praise for a well-developed project feels nice. The professionalism portrayed heightens the moment for a writer because of a reputation or the list of clients.
Writers read other writers and know when representation comes from an established agent of collective masters. Of course, I want to join the ranks of these passionate writers and editors. I have experienced delightful connections thus far in my career. Writers and agents are typically the heart of the publishing industry. The big publishing houses are the pentacle for reaching success. I dream of the day when my work becomes represented by the very best.
So far, being humble means developing through the proper process. I aim high and take criticism respectfully. When an agent provides me feedback, I appreciate their prowess. Hearing that I have a worthy project inspires me to experience traditional publishing. The dream is a love thing. I love that my work could be loved enough to receive the financial support and acclaim most writers aspire for.
I have met so many personalities, and each one has added value to my creative and publishing journey. It is no wonder that the literary industry thrives in masterpieces. Readers love to hold books. I do. If a reader holds onto my book in awe and closes it after completing it with a smile, I am the wealthiest author to construct a narrative.
I can only suggest that if we want the American Literary Dream to happen. We must write from the heart and trust in the literary professionals who make it possible. I pour my heart into the process.
