Thanks, I’m hope everyone learned a little. And I hope you enjoy Your Alibi, Susanna.

I feel I should note that my Ace releases will be out under my given name, Ann Aguirre. My Ann Aguirre books are darker and edgier, and while they may have sexual content / sex, they aren’t, by definition, erotic titles. Annie Dean is a pseudonym under which I write more sexually explicit material.

First of all…Annie, that’s AWESOME! Congratulations!

As for my comment…even though I’m not published or anything exciting like that, I’ve had the thought of an agent/publishing/et.al. on my brain for years. This article was very informative and nice for someone like me who hasn’t reached this part of the writing process yet. So, this is more a thanks than anything.

I’ve wanted to read this book since I read the blurb thingy that Bam did. It looks awesome.

Cool beans - right now I’m writing a novel, but I don’t plan on looking for an agent until I can get more stories published, because then I can use those credentials in my query letter. But I am writing lots of stories and sending them out, so I’m getting closer and closer to my goal all the same.

I never knew writing would be such hard work - when I was younger and reading and dreaming of writing I always assumed you just wrote the book and then it magically got published. I really enjoy these blogs and the reviews, and good luck Annie!!

Yes, absolutely. I wouldn’t have made the deal I just announced today without Laura. She’s the best.

Thank you for the interesting post about your agent search. I am not a writer but have many friends who are interested so advice is always welcome to pass on. A question for you though, in your experience, do you feel having an agent increased the likelihood of your submisisons being accepted?
