No lunch invites, no exhortations for \u2018just one drink\u2019 or weekend getaways. I was writing practically full-time and it was flowing like never before. I had nearly finished the first draft when I saw an advert for the&nbsp;Summer&nbsp;Festival of Writing and decided, since I was Doing This Properly, it would be a sound investment.&nbsp;It&nbsp;turned out&nbsp;I was right. I came away feeling empowered, knowledgeable,&nbsp;no longer a complete amateur \u2013 and ready to edit until I could edit no more.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>JW: How did you land your agent?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the 2020&nbsp;Summer Festival&nbsp;of Writing, I attended every webinar led by an agent. I wanted to learn as much as I could about submissions before jumping into the fray again, having previously tried&nbsp;to find representation for two earlier&nbsp;novels and been unsuccessful. Jericho Writers provided such wonderful opportunities to, for the first time, really discover the secrets of the industry and I felt&nbsp;much more confident in my submissions package after applying everything I\u2019d learnt. I also booked several agent&nbsp;one-to-ones, which were nowhere near as terrifying as expected!&nbsp;One of the early ones was particularly brilliant.&nbsp;She&nbsp;ripped my opening pages to shreds and it really stung at the time, but when I sat down to work through her deeply perceptive notes, I realised she\u2019d helped me improve tenfold and I was so grateful to her. From then, I had a stronger package to present at&nbsp;one-to-ones&nbsp;and I gained three more full requests from subsequent sessions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By this point, I&nbsp;already had six full&nbsp;manuscripts&nbsp;on submission and was prepared to&nbsp;wait&nbsp;to see what the feedback would be&nbsp;when, out of the blue, I saw on Twitter that Liza&nbsp;DeBlock&nbsp;at&nbsp;Mushens&nbsp;Entertainment had opened her submissions that morning. I\u2019d followed Liza for a while and really liked her&nbsp;style&nbsp;so I&nbsp;decided&nbsp;there was nothing&nbsp;to be&nbsp;lost in&nbsp;contacting her. She replied within hours asking for the full&nbsp;manuscript&nbsp;and just over a week later, I was signing on the dotted line in a state of wonder, disbelief and sheer joy. &nbsp;It&nbsp;had been nearly a decade since I sent out those first tentative letters (no email back then!) seeking representation&nbsp;and&nbsp;I was&nbsp;so&nbsp;thrilled&nbsp;by&nbsp;the opportunity&nbsp;to become part of the&nbsp;Mushens&nbsp;Entertainment family \u2013&nbsp;a&nbsp;dream agency&nbsp;I had followed since its creation&nbsp;\u2013 that I&nbsp;didn\u2019t quite dare to believe it was finally happening.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>JW: What was the process of choosing an agent&nbsp;after&nbsp;a number of&nbsp;full manuscript requests?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liza was the first agent to call \u2013 she read the full&nbsp;manuscript&nbsp;in 48 hours and left me the most wonderful voicemail&nbsp;telling me how she loved it so much she\u2019d stayed up&nbsp;half the night&nbsp;to finish it, which I intend to keep forever! As soon as we got talking, I was&nbsp;amazed&nbsp;by her&nbsp;excitement&nbsp;and her sheer passion for&nbsp;\u2018Believe Me Not\u2019. She already understood the characters and&nbsp;themes and&nbsp;we were completely on the same page&nbsp;regarding&nbsp;edits and improvements. I knew we\u2019d clicked but Liza encouraged me to continue talking to the other agents who had the full&nbsp;manuscript&nbsp;and see&nbsp;what their thoughts were. They&nbsp;were all lovely&nbsp;and so encouraging but my gut&nbsp;was telling me&nbsp;I was going to accept Liza\u2019s offer.&nbsp;My partner told me to listen to the voicemail again and said \u2018anyone that enthusiastic is going to be your most valuable ally. She\u2019s 100% committed to you and the book and you can\u2019t ask for anything more\u2019.&nbsp;That sealed it for me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>JW: What is your relationship like with your agent now?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wonderful!
