Chicago friends! Join me on Halloween eve for signed books and mocktails at after-words bookstore 23 East Illinois Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611. It's the perfect stop before your costume party or trick-or-treat adventure!

[Jen Newens @JenNewens]

@pmadonna Agree!

[Kristen Terrette, Literary Agent & Author @KTerrette]

A note: When we (agents) try to be nice and respond with a specific reason (which you asked for) about a rejection, and you don't handle it well is one big reason why we (agents) use form rejections. We can't change the state of the industry, even when we wish we could.

[Jen Newens @JenNewens]

My clients are so sweet!
