Agent Superstition

I just sent out a novel that I'm terribly excited about.

But do we agents get superstitious in such moments? Of course we do.

"Hi, it's your agent," I say as soon as the writer picks up. "So, your work is out. Now would be the time to light candles, incense, pray"--and I add the last part because it's YA--"cast spells...whatever works, now is the time."

Am knocking on a forest.

New clients enjoy saying "my agent says" almost as much as they like getting phone calls saying "Hi, this is your agent."

Awesome! Good luck. I'm crossing my fingers, tossing salt over my shoulder, avoiding all sidewalk cracks and knocking on particle board for you.

I'm a little late but good luck. Especially because it's YA. I checked the magic 8 ball, it looks promising.
