After some feedback and lots of research- I feel it best to recategorize the genre of THE LONELY WIVES CLUB to
Upmarket Book Club Fiction
an updated #agentsguide now with much stronger comps
Ready to find it's dream agent 🫶🏼🍸

[Nic Webb is querying @bynicwebb]

well i waited too long (because i got so busy with work😩) and all the agents i wanted to pitch to at the california online writers conference are all sold out 🫠🫠

guess it’s swimming in slush piles from here on out 🏊‍♀️

[Nic Webb is querying @bynicwebb]

let’s play a game called ‘how many hair colors will i go through until i land a literary agent’ hehe

[Nic Webb is querying @bynicwebb]

Sometimes things I write about in my books I feel happen in my real life so my next WIP is going to be about a girl with pink hair who lands an amazing literary agent and Big 5 pub deal and has an incredible author career

I’ll let you know how quickly it ends up happening lol

about to check on my sims (agent's query tracker stats)

[Nic Webb is querying @bynicwebb]

I’m surviving querying by baking lots of banana bread, sourdough bread, and playing Stardew Valley

Fine, I’ll admit it… part of my inspo for THE LONELY WIVES CLUB was the phenomenon of so many women who make tiktok’s about their terrible husbands then make follow-up videos saying “you can’t judge him off a 2 second clip!!!” and stand ten toes behind him and stay with him oops

[Nic Webb is querying @bynicwebb]

and for my final #questpit post for THE LONELY WIVES CLUB

… if you’re my literary agent there is a 99.9% chance i will find a way to send you homemade sourdough bread

… i make great bread. my staters name is doughlaf (this is a silly jokey post … unless it works👀)
