It's Harry Potter (with fangs)

I'm so relieved that my blogreaders (ie, my minions) are patient people. Revising Eighth Grade Bites has simply consumed me lately and, though my blog has suffered as a result, it's nice to know people are still stopping by. So right off the bat (bat...ha!), thank you for being supportive. I'll remember you fondly when I'm in charge of the planet.

I'm on Chapter Nine now and, though the road has gotten bumpier, it's still fairly smooth. If I had to wager a guess, I'd say my revisions will be completed by December 1st. I've got a kick-butt query and I'm working on a synopsis. Strangely, the synopsis seems to be writing itself. So now the focus is on revisions, completing my synopsis and gathering a list of victims. *ahem* I mean...agents.

Agent Query has a nineteen page list of agents who handle YA. And each page has something like four* agents on it. Holy old sweatsocks, Batman! How am I supposed to choose which ones to query?? Well, the answer is easy, but it takes a bit of work. I have to research sales--and not just how many, but who's sold what and, in particular, who's interested in vampire YA. It'll be a chore, but I'm up for it. (Plus I have great friends who email me little notes about vampire YA sales on occasion. They completely rock.)

So here I go, sticking my neck out *gulp* and wondering, when the time comes, which agents will bite. (Okay, okay...enough with the vampy puns. Back to work!)

*addendum: each page has EIGHT agents listed...yowza!
