Last night I finally met my literary agent, , IRL!
Fun Fact: I almost *didn’t* query him because I didn’t think there was a world where *the* Eric Smith would like my book idea about sober s*x and dating. But I queried him anyway because YOLO.
Turns out my self doubt was wrong (like it often is!). Within 24 hours I had an enthusiastic email reply and an equally enthusiastic phone call with Eric.
Hearing his excitement and belief in my book idea felt incredible. Needless to say, I signed with him and just a few months later, we got a book deal for Dry Hu***ng: A Guide to Dating, Relating, and Hooking Up Without the Booze ( fall 2023) with a kick ass book editor!
Moral of the story: DREAM BIG. Email or DM that person you don’t think will reply. Not trying is way worse than hearing no.
P.S. Eric is a kick ass author, too. He even wrote Jagged Little Pill: The Novel. Yes, seriously. Grab one of his books from your local book store!
