Mostly keeping it together.

I recently wrote a memoir about my experience of getting sober, dating after an abusive relationship, and becoming estranged from my family—in New York City at the onset of the pandemic, as my industry ground to a halt.

I describe it as an anti-rom-com, featuring three heartbreaks—the attractive guy, the average guy, and finally, my best friend—before finally realizing I couldn’t recover by checking boxes, but maybe I could by meeting a friend for a mango smoothie.

I have gone over it with my writing mentor, family and friends, and feel I have gotten it as far as my talent can take it. I’ve written a query letter that I’ve sent to about 50 literary agents so far.

The community that we’ve formed here includes some of the best readers/writers/editors I’ve ever connected with, and I would love to hear any advice anyone has from their experience.

If anyone would be at all interested in reading either the letter or a sample, please let me know!
