"Hi Laura. I'm in exactly the same position. The agent gave me feedback and asked me to resubmit. Here's the thing: the feedback feels right. The book will be better for it. So, I'm going for it. I'll let you know. And good luck!"

I didn't notice one in your profile) :D

:-) Thank you! The writing part is based on my own Nashville writing group, which I now connect with from afar - an amazing group of four writers who started unpublished and now count 8 books published or being written under contract, plus articles, stories, poems... Really amazing how far a little support goes.

>I have an agent for my first (technically my second) novel and am working on a new one. Novelists–Struggling or Not sounds perfect for me.

Congrats! And fingers crossed for you!

You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. I’ll look forward to chatting with you!
