I'm a baby writer....just begun the whole query thing a couple weeks ago for my first novel. I was offered representation by an agent who belongs to my writer's guild and I turned it down because I knew we would not work well together. He is not a member of the AAR and I wanted to have an agent who would mentor me...not one who wanted a ride with my manuscript. Now, I've been terrified that I'd made a mistake, but this post is exactly what I needed to hear! Thanks to all of you for taking time to help us out.....seriously!

After all, you'll soon be a published author! Thank you for sharing your experience and reminding all of us the lessons we need to learn and implement. Much good luck.

Great post, Mia, and an important post too. The business has its ups, downs, and its sideways, and those sideways trips are the ones you don't - can't plan for. Congratulations to you for being strong enough to take care of what you knew wasn't working so you could move on to what is going to in a timely manner. You have my admiration.

You couldn't be more right- it isn't just about having an agent. It is about having the right agent for you. For every person this can be a bit different. You'll find him or her and they will feel lucky to get you. Bravo! You couldn’t be more right- it isn’t just about having an agent. It is about having the right agent for you.
