Workshop with Agent Heather Cashman of Storm Literary: Increase Your Chances of Hooking an Agent with Your Submission!
Thank you, Steena, for the encouragement of your amazing journey. I so agree that we just couldn’t do our writing successfully without the help, prayers and encouragement of a critique group.
Congratulations!
Love to hear stories of “How you got your agent?”….great Questions, Rosie.
Lovely interview. So happy for Steena and celebrating with her!
Steena’s story was very inspiring. I look forward to reading LUPITA’S BROWN BALLET SLIPPERS. Appreciate the time she spent with us!
This was a delightful and honest interview.
If you write a YA novel and then a few picture books, when an agent asks to see more work, can the work be a different genre?
