I was a wreck while I waited to hear back from my publisher after reading the whole thing, I thought for sure she was going to hate the rest of it and take back the offer. Whew. So glad she didn't!!!! It's fun to hear that you had a similar experience!

Similar story with my editor in that she only read the first 3 chapters and a synopsis. All the places wanted a proposal and then a full ms. I asked her if she was sure b/c it made me nervous that she hadn't read the entire ms. She said she had a God nudge! Love that! Still blesses me when I think of it!

This could NOT have happened to a sweeter person?! I am SO happy for you, Deanna, and this is encouraging to me too...because I've been pursuing the large publishers. But maybe God has something else in mind. <br /><br />Send you a great big virtual hug!

I even got a little teary towards the end :) Absolutely enjoy your moment to the fullest, because you are such an inspiration to those of us who haven't quite "arrived" yet! That's part of what I love about the Christian writing community - the attitude that we're all in this together rather than in competition with one another. I can't wait to see how God will continue to work in your life as you move forward in your publishing journey!Laurie Luckinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00456113371420700748noreply@blogger.com
