Happy holidays to you too!<br /><br />Rose, the hardest step is finishing the first manuscript. My first one took several years. Now I can write a young adult novel in months. Like anything else, practice and experience help. A good agent is also a big help. Thanks we did have a happy Hanukkah. Today we are decorating our Christmas tree.

I think many of us who wistfully dream of publishing a novel some day--but can't seem to finish writing it--had no idea of how important an agent is.

Happy holidays to you too!<br /><br />Bee, I do love winter all the more with snow. Jean, like many agents, worked in the industry as an editor and a translator before trying her hand at being an agent. Discovering a bestseller author gave her the start up capital. The most recent addition to JVNLA, Jessica Regel, started out as a summer intern and then an assistant before being promoted to an agent.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-61544341146973723062009-12-16T18:18:18.890-05:002009-12-16T18:18:18.890-05:00That picture of snow has me sighing.
