Mom and I have both found representation with Books & Such‘s Wendy Lawton!
this is how we “dressed up” for the formal evening that year. We decided to go country chic. Notice our faux fur dogs at our neck, the classy bath gloves, and fortunately for you, you’re spared the footwear. (Since we’d heard boots were a MUST HAVE of the season, we wore our rubber, scooping-out-the-muck boots. It was the best evening! Truly, we put on accents and howdied everyone we saw, including Wendy, I’m sure.
Anyhoo, you can’t say she doesn’t know exactly what she’s taking on!
All joking aside–and you all know how hard that is for me–signing with Wendy is an enormous blessing. She has just the right blend of mother/marketing maven/toughness and I can’t wait to see where our partnership takes us.
Here’s pretty much your last chance to win a copy of The Familiar Stranger on the blog tour. Miriam, my crit buddy and treasured friend, did an interview on Story Journey. I gave two totally NEW Top Five lists in the post, so check it out and leave a comment.
Also, one of Wendy’s first requests was for me to start tweeting, so find me on this Twitter page!
So what is Wendy? Don’t you already have an agent?
Congratulations. You AND your mom! How very cool. Wendy is high on my list of agents. I noticed those same qualites when I was doing agent research awhile back.
Great news.

Congratulations, Christina and Sherrie! Welcome to the Books and Such family.
BTW, I’m the person who took your picture with Wendy under the tree at OCW. 🙂
Yay! Congrats! I thought you had an agent too, but congrats on Wendy. She’s a great one. 🙂
I thought I’d be discreet, but I can see how it would be confusing! Yes, Mom and I had an agent and were satisfied, but for the last few months we were feeling led to make a different move.
It was definitely not something we did lightly, but hopefully we did as well as possible in such a situation.
Judy, that’s amazing! I didn’t remember. We just watched The Fiddler on the Roof, so … “Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match! Find me a find; catch me a catch!” 🙂
Congrats, Christina. I hope Wendy can sell that book you’re working on.
Can I say I just don’t get Twitter? I don’t. Facebook I love. Twitter–sigh.
Congratulations, Christina and Sherrie! I’ve heard lots of good things about Wendy Lawton.
Blessings,
Susan 🙂
Sally, thanks! Twitter’s not as bad as I thought it was. In fact, it fits my random short thoughts better and posts directly onto facebook through TweetDeck. 🙂
Susan, Wendy is the best!
