I signed with my agent, Marietta Zacker of Nancy Gallt, back in 2009...gosh, that sounds like a long time! I'm here in the City of Big Shoulders and she's in New Jersey. We both have nutty schedules to boot. That said, we've never had the chance to meet after all this time.
Lucky for me, Marietta will be speaking at the IL SCBWI conference this Saturday, and on Sunday, her and I will finally meet! Somehow she's convinced I'm very tall, but I'm not, I just wear very tall shoes! ;)
Long story short, I can't wait to meet her. She's taking my family and I out to breakfast and my four-year-old, Nomi, will be impressing her with her Spanish the whole meal and probably won't let me get a word in edgewise, but that's okay, because I feel so lucky to finally thank her in-person for all she's done for me!
So, please, pass the syrup! :)
Wow. That was a long time coming.
ReplyDeleteYep, and we had the best time ever! So worth the wait!
DeleteHave a great breakfast! It amazes me that we can have these relationships without ever having met the person. :)
ReplyDeleteJanet, you are so right! I know her so well without actually "meeting" her. It wasn't awkward in the least bit. I just feel closer to her now. :)
DeleteHave an awesome breakfast and enjoy your visit with your agent! Don't forget to take some pictures to share. : )
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susanne! Pics to be posted soon! ;)
