The good news is that even if this isn't the book that Ms. Ribar (or another dream agent) loves, your next one might be. That's the great thing about being a writer--you can't help but make more words:)<br /><br />Very best of luck with your agent search.Krista Van Dolzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08830193414560232842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4250988928163509961.post-45564109485938900952014-08-31T03:33:27.159-06:002014-08-31T03:33:27.159-06:00What a great blog and interview - I'm so happy...What a great blog and interview - I'm so happy I found you! I finished a MS with all Lindsay's criteria - unfortunately I suffer from obsessive compulsive editing disorder. Rooted probably in the fact that I live in Vienna/Austria right now and never found english spoken critters aka beta readers for it. So I was on my own with all my revisions and editing and I am just scared to hell that because of my bilingualism my voice is just - well too unique. I even finished my query letter for Ms Ribar - just not sure when I will have the courage to send it out - because I really love her as an agent and nono might through me into writer's hell :p<br />Cheers from Vienna and happy Sunday!<br />http://www.writersburrow.blogspot.co.at/ MsButtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14433959011317026075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4250988928163509961.post-15492617769221652212013-08-31T23:17:06.250-06:002013-08-31T23:17:06.250-06:00Angela, I thought the same.

And welcome to the wonderful world of querying:) Once you polish up that manuscript, you might find last week's round of "An Agent's Inbox" helpful (or any of the rounds, for that matter), as you get to read a bunch of queries and see what worked and what didn't for one particular agent. As with all things writing, queries are subjective, but there are definitely some tips and tricks that will make your query shine.Krista Van Dolzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08830193414560232842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4250988928163509961.post-84395038691278425202013-08-31T16:28:00.431-06:002013-08-31T16:28:00.431-06:00Great interview, and she sounds like a kick-ass ag...Great interview, and she sounds like a kick-ass agent! I just finished a YA UF manuscript with some of her criteria, maybe I'll... edit it, revise it, roll around on the ground in self doubt, learn how to query, deliberate with myself for a few weeks, and then send her a query on it. <br /><br />Yeah, that sounds like a great idea! So glad I found your blog =)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06751240723316511930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4250988928163509961.post-34628390453327661532013-08-30T22:21:07.260-06:002013-08-30T22:21:07.260-06:00Congrats to Lindsay for her own publications and t...Congrats to Lindsay for her own publications and the ones soon to come for her clients.
