time to get serious

There are a few blogs I've read religiously throughout this whole crazy writing, querying, submitting process. One of those is Nathan Bransford's blog. Nathan has spent the last few years generously teaching writers about the publishing business. Today I learned that Nathan will no longer be a literary agent.

You can show him your appreciation by tweeting your thanks on the #thanknate thread on Twitter.

  2. Wow, the end of an era, but I think he'll have great contributions no matter where he focuses his energy.

  3. I agree, Angelica. He did say he'd keep maintaining his blog!

  4. Hey Jill, thanks for stopping by my blog. I thought I'd stop by for a visit. I was as shocked by this news as anyone. I queried him once, although, I'm embarrassed of that particular query letter, but he was still such a sweetie about my rejection. I even came down off the ledge and everything:(

  5. Times change and people move on. His has been an excellent blog to follow. I don't tweet so I'll just send appreciative vibes :-)

  6. I was so stunned when I heard Nathan was no longer going to be a lit agent. It is a loss to the ranks of agents but I have no doubt Nathan will do wonderful things no matter where he goes.
