I don’t think I can answer this question without spoilers, so…ANSWER BELOW THE CUT. (care to weigh in, vaveyard?)

“No, I’m not choosing him or you. I’m choosing me.” ― Kiera Cass, The Selection 

Hello! Meet America Singer :) I’m super late to post this because this was a Christmas gift from my lovely friend sammijeanfox . 

She made me America in doll form from The Selection by Kiera Cass ( partylikeawordstar ).

My friend has magic hands and if you’ve read the book then you’ll appreciate all the little details that she put into America, The Doll. I love her and I hope you do too :) 

If you love her as much as I do, please send a message to sammijeanfox and let her know you think it’s awesome! Also, please let Kiera Cass ( partylikeawordstar ) know that an amazing doll has been made of one of her characters!!

Please do not repost these photos without this original post and credit. Reblog, do not repost, thank you!

Thank you for reading and looking! ~M

Yes! All authors need an agent unless they publish independently. To go the traditional route, it’s pretty much impossible to get through the door without one.

TIPS/STEPS:

1. Finish your book. Like properly finish it. Hate it and then love it again.

2. Learn how to write a query letter. Google will help you with this more than I can, I swear I’m not sure how I got noticed.

3. Follow agents on twitter, look for the name of agents on the acknowledgements page of books similar to yours, and check out sites like agentquery.com. This is how you start compiling a list of agents you think might like to read your book.

4. Send your query letter to them and along with anything else they ask for (like a synopsis or sample pages). Things like that will be outlined on their site or agentquery profile.

5. Send out 10 at a time. When you get rejected (because you will. Bunches.) send a new one out.

6. While you’re waiting, write your next book.

7. Wait some more.

8. If someone is interested, you send them your whole manuscript. Which is perfect and done, remember? Yes? If no one likes it, you put it in a drawer, and move on to the next project. Boom.

After this point, things get complicated. If you get an agent, then there’s the whole submission process, and if you don’t, you have to mourn with cake and start over. But it’s possible. Worked for me, and I’m basically you.
