What Happens in Wisconsin STAYS...well, not quite in Wisconsin

When I go to writing conferences, people know EXACTLY where to find me: the hotel bar. On the other hand, when our young intrepid agent Amy Tipton goes to conferences, people not only adore her...if they lose her phone number, they go to great lengths to find her again.

About 700 people found this on Craigslist and called her to say "didja see yourself."

Dang...I somehow managed to completely hose my phone and subsequently, lose your number. I was seriously looking forward to coffee and conversation. Or perhaps was I just mis-reading the effects of the 12 hour drinking? If nothing else, you dropped into my orbit at the right time, and gave me the little bit of adventure and hint of possibilities I sorely needed. And for that, I thank you sincerely. Either way, if you (or someone who knows a beer drinking, Parliament smoking, Bike Messenger dating literary agent) see this, I hope that maybe you will try to get in touch.

    The first book really does sound intriguing.

    Going to Italy to write? Yeah, that's the stuff of dreams. Let me know when they do a workshop in Ireland, though. I would be donating blood or something to go to that.

    Missing agent? My kind of agent. I don't drink much, but she sounds like fun.

    Thanks again. It is encouraging to know good things do get discovered in slush piles.

    This wouldn't have taken place on April Fools, would it? :)

    What I want to know is will Amy respond?

Keep your comments succinct. Any comment that runs longer than 100 words is generally too long.

If you're commenting more than three times a day, it's too much.


Civility is enforced. Spelling/grammar mistakes may be pointed out ONLY in the blog post itself, not in any of the ensuing commenter's contributions.

If your comment doesn't show up, it's most likely that Blogger ate it. Try posting again using a GoogleID. (comment moderation is on only for older posts)
