The editor said the first manuscript was too quiet, but she liked the voice, and welcomed me to sub something else. So I went back to the drawing board and tried to think really commercial. Lo and behold, they bought my next manuscript! But they changed my dog MC into a pig. :) I'd be happy to give you her name if you message me or email me.Diana Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890151751596418426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1904226460022400247.post-66384879356802963962016-07-16T08:10:41.913-04:002016-07-16T08:10:41.913-04:00 Congratulations and looking forward to reading yo...
