I love it when bloggers feature agents. It's so hard sometimes to glean the info you need to make a good choice for querying, but posts like these help so much!
Awesome. I had the opportunity to query her recently. Great interaction. :)
I had to Google "HEA" to figure out what it meant. Guess I don't read enough romance.
This series is a great resource for writers pursuing representation. I love an agent that has a true passion for the written word.
Awesome spotlight. I'm excited that Nicole Resciniti is looking for a fantasy series.
This post was a learning experience ...thanks
I'm so happy you spotlighted Nicole! Such an awesome person. Hope to get the opportunity to work with her.
Thanks for the information. This agent may be a good fit for my manuscript.
I've considered querying her, but I wasn't sure how she would feel about swearing in my YA novel. Otherwise she sounds like she might the right fit for my story.
Stina, that made me smile because I had the same fear when I queried Nicole. My YA had swearing and s-e-x! Gasp! And my adult romance was quite steamy. But she loved them both, she signed me, and she sold them both.
I couldn't love her more. She's exceeded every one of my expectations.
