Hi friends! I have some exciting news on the writing front. I now have a literary agent!
What this doesn’t mean:
A book deal. Not yet. 🙂
What this does mean:
I am one step closer to a book deal. Most publishers don’t accept unsolicited manuscripts, so authors need an agent– a middle-man– whom publishers trust and who will represent the authors. Steven Chudney of The Chudney Agency thinks my manuscript is lovely, and he already has ideas about which publishers he’d like to send it to. I’m so grateful that he’s taking a chance on me and Truest!
I had no idea that querying was going to be such an emotional journey for me. I’ll be blogging about it soon!
For now, I just wanted to share this fun news with my blogging community. I am so grateful to Steven Chudney for this opportunity and so grateful to you blog readers for faithfully reading about my life, experiences, and opinions, and for caring so deeply about my personal writing journey.
Next step: revisions!

This is big news, Jackie. Praise God!
Thanks, Tony! So excited to see what happens next!
