Very important advice, Stina!! From queries to epubbing to awards, you've got it all here. You know I just realized I did a faux pas in NOT sending a thank you to two agents who said some nice things about my work. I guess I figured they didn't have time for a note from me, especially after passing on the works. But, in hind sight, I should definitely have responded. I hope I didn't burn any bridges by my non-response. I will know better in the future. Whew! This writing game is a hard one, the rules, the etiquette, we're all just learning. Thanks for your valuable posts that help me on my path.
