Happy Friday!
Update on agent search: one request for synopsis + full manuscript - very exciting! Without mentioning specifics, this is a junior agent at a NYC agency who is just starting to acquire/sell YA. There are, of course, 2 thoughts on this: she hasn't sold a lot and perhaps does not have the connections that a more seasoned YA agent would have; but she also is actively seeking YA in a variety of genres to build her list. I'll keep you posted!

That's terrific news, Allie. You know Nicholas Sparks sold his book, The Notebook, to a new agent.
Great news, Ali! Good luck!
