For her, these letters are a lifeline to her sister, and she’s unfiltered in a way that she couldn’t be if I wrote this book in straight prose/narration. Although letters can be difficult to read in that there’s always the possibility of an unreliable narrator, I think that in my book’s case, Evie’s sincerity shines through. I Miss You in letters because I feel like it was a direct line to Evie’s brain. How did the letter writing format in the novel help Evie tell her story? Evie is questioning her sexual orientation and is missing the advice of her older sister. But it can happen, regardless of how it takes to get there!Ģ) In your novel, PS I Miss You, eleven year-old Evie writes letters to her pregnant teen sister who has been sent away by their strict Catholic parents. Publication can take more than one agent and way more than one book. I MISS YOU was actually the fifth book I wrote, and that’s not abnormal, as I’ve come to realize. The first two books that I wrote were with this agent, and neither of them sold. And that was part of my road to publication, too. My first agent was great, too, but wasn’t quite right for me.
Her editorial advice, tenacity, and perseverance are all such wonderful traits. I received lots of rejections along the way, and I am so lucky that I ended up with Brianne. My current agent, Brianne Johnson, is actually my second agent, and I queried both times in the standard way. I tossed my query into the slush pile for this book. Did you toss your query into the slush pile, pitch an agent at a conference, or something else? Thank you so much for having me! I really appreciate all the effort that goes into these questions, and the time you put into your blog.ġ) Tell me about your road to publication. Congratulations on the upcoming release of PS I Miss You, your debut middle-grade novel! Hi Jen! Thanks for stopping by my blog to chat.
