I promise to get back to having some craft and how-to information on the blog, but I’ve had such a run of good luck lately that I can’t help but want to share the news about each client I’m representing.
Jennifer Carsen’s memoir landed in my inbox on a day when I had approximately four hundred and twenty nine things to do before 7 p.m. And do you know how many of those things I got done? None, zip, zilch, nada, nil. That’s right, not one single thing. Because I couldn’t put her mansucript down. No matter how many times I said, “Okay, three more pages and THEN I HAVE TO DO OTHER WORK,” it turned out I was just lying to myself.
In her own words, “Jennifer Carsen is a writer and recovering lawyer. After running—screaming—from the law after only 11 months of practice, she turned to a far more enjoyable career in words. Her humor essays have appeared in two recent Seal Press anthologies, Tied in Knots: Funny Stories From the Wedding Day and The Bigger the Better the Tighter the Sweater. She is also the author of the laugh-free HR How-to: Employee Retention and the equally unfunny Divorce Guide for Illinois. She lives in New Hampshire with her husband, Eric, and their two manic cats.”
I am so excited to be representing Jen’s book that I don’t even mind that she’s a cat person.
