This article is quite excellent and really resonated with me after recently completed my first manuscript and pursuing the traditional publishing route. "I couldn’t define my first book’s genre," I can relate to that. I wrote the story I had to tell without any concern for genre. So much to learn. Thank you for sharing your experience. I look forward to reading more of your writing.
Hi, JT! I'm still finding my way around Substack, so I missed this comment somehow as well as your note on your pledge. I just read it now, and I really wanted to say, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad my article resonated with you and I hope you will find more useful content down the road.
Such a useful and thought provoking post. It’s been so true that I’ve focused so long on finishing a manuscript, that I didn’t have the mental space to think concretely about next steps. Spending time doing this now so this is very timely.
Also, yes! Create a post about questions to ask an agent. I would love to read that!

All writing roads have bends and pot holes—nice to be reminded of that.

The post about agent call questions coming your way very soon! :)
And you DELIVERED!
So glad to hear it, Nat!
