I got this sweet letter from Agent Awesome yesterday, regarding PLAYING WITH MATCHES, my YA historical about a boy who grows up in Hitler Youth:
Hi Elle,
Oh, you can’t imagine how thrilled I was to be your agent when I read this manuscript…! It’s really incredible. You do a fantastic job really capturing the moment and emotions of what it may have been like for a little boy in Nazi Germany. ...
So, yes, I'm working on revisions and soon a second book will be out on submission.
*happy dance*
It's moments like this that make all the hard work worth while.
Wow. Wow. Wow. A second book. Go!You! Congrats. ;)
