Michelle, you are an amazing amazing amazing artist, in your writing and your content in the writing craft, you 1,000000% deserve nothing less. Here’s to the next hurdles that you know all too well. Good luck but you don’t need it!
Of course you're well thought of in the industry Michelle! You are so hardworking as a writer, as well as generous and honest with your help and advice to fellow writers. You deserve this success! Congratulations👏!!
Congratulations!🎉🎉🎉 If anyone deserved a major breakthrough it's you. Your videos are always the highlight of my week but this one is special at the end of a hectic day. ❤
First off, congratulations! Excited to see where your Act 2 takes you! Secondly, I feel in the past couple videos you've been apologizing for how easy is it was for you to get a new agent and I guess I want to say as an aspiring author - how reassuring it is for me (and I suspect for others too) that the querying journey of an established author with a substantial backlist went a lot smoother and easier than a person with no published works under their belt. Yes, it would have made good content to see you go through a longer process - but if it would have been hard for you, what hope do authors without your credentials and connections to the industry have? To see the publishing industry recognize and show value to someone who has done the work, has the skill and has the published works to prove it gives me hope.
Thank you so much!! :) And you know, I hadn't considered that it might be reassuring in that way, but that makes perfect sense. I was surprised (in a good way) to be told my backlist was a boon and not an anchor, and I can completely see how that is good news for authors who are hoping to debut as well - I'm glad this made you feel more positive about your journey!!
100% agreed. I'm not interested in trad publishing right now (mainly because what I'm writing is a multi-book series, and as far as I know, those don't actually sell in trad spaces), but in the future, I'd definitely try with a standalone. Seeing this go smoothly for you, Michelle, has 100% made me believe more in trad-publishing. You are at the top of your game and if trad-pub didn't see that, I'd be heavily side-eyeing them. 😅
Yes! Congrats! (Feels odd repeating it, but you deserve that and more!❤❤❤❤) I love how you lucked out this way, taking the stress off of the whole agent search. That was so freaking cool how it all lined up so perfectly. I really hope it means that this "act 2" (as you put it) gives you everything you want for your career. And I can't wait for the new books, because my goodness, going on submission in the fall somehow seems way sooner than I would've thought. (Don't know why though. For some reason I thought it'd take time before agents did that.🤷) Also, just wanted to ask if you/we are expected to have a list of your other stories' pitches when you get the Call. Or if this was a one off for that specific agent/agency. Good luck with everything! And congrats again! I'm so happy for you!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much, K!! :) And I think it's fairly common for agents to ask authors about other projects they're working on. After all, they're not just representing this one book, but potentially all of your future books - so they want to know if those ideas are a good fit! I would definitely recommend having a few super short pitches ready for a call just in case. :)
Congrats, Michelle! How exciting! I need to get my butt in gear especially since Camp Nano is next week. Yikes! Been struggling with health and personal issues this month (June has been kicking my butt) so I hope to get back into the writing groove. Have a great weekend, Michelle! Hi Rosa :-)
Yay!!! So exciting 🎉 Would love to hear more about why you’re not comfortable entering the YA space right now. I have some guesses, because I’m hoping to query a YA (my first novel) and have reservations about the market. But it’s what I wrote… Anyway, would love to hear more if that’s a video you’d be interested in making (if it’s even video material) So excited for your second act and a bright future!!!
Thank you so much!! :) And I don't think I've actually made a video about being published in YA. To be honest, it's less actually industry issues, more that the toxicity, cancellations, and dogpiling seems to happen in YA more than MG or adult. Another element is that YA is increasingly trending up in age/content - essentially, at least in the US, YA novels feature (in my opinion) characters who think/behave like young 20-somethings instead of teens, and I have no interest in writing that. I'd love to write about the actual 14/15/16 yo experience but that's a tough sell in the US market. That said, for those writing upper YA, it's a different story! It's really subjective.
@@MichelleSchustermanAuthor Just saw this! Yes, all of that makes sense. It's funny, I just hired a coach to look at my ms. My protagonist is 14 (I know, I know that doesn't sell, but it's what my intuitive process produced 😕), and the coach says my voice and themes are more MG than YA. So I may be going in the direction of MG, and it feels like something of a relief! This marketing business is a bear :o(
I am So. Happy. For you! 🥳🤩🥰🥰🥰 And it's always nice to hear one has a good reputation. 😉😇 I wish you all the best for the next chapter of your journey, and I will be here on the sidelines, cheering you on! 💕
I truly have to say that I'm extremely happy for you. You seem like a genuine and hardworker person, who likes to help others. Well done! What goes around comes around.
FANTASTIC NEWS, MICHELLE! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳Been waiting for this right alongside with you since your video about losing your agent. So happy to hear you've ended up with someone you already had an existing relationship with, that is definitely a massive bonus! You're the hardest working writer I know, so I can't imagine anyone deserving this more. Can't wait for future updates. Always rooting for you. 🥰🥰🥰
Congratulations! I'm really happy for you and it was so fun seeing how happy you were in the video. Made me smile along with you :) Along with that, I wondered about something you'd said regarding not wanting to write YA. Could you elaborate more on that? If I missed a whole video of you explaining your thoughts, I apologize. I've been on and off YT. But I'd love to hear your personal feelings on the age group. I write YA myself, and although I'm light years from getting published, it is a dream of mine for someday. Anyway, congrats again! Wishing you the very best :)

omg, so amazing. i recently talked to an agent at that same agency about my book. still gotta finish it and query to see if she likes the final product, but what a small world. congratulations! i'm so happy you found someone you know you'll work well with.
Congratulations! I've been watching your videos for a few years now and I felt all your anguish when you announced your agent's retirement. Great things ahead!
Congratulations! I saw the title right before I left the house for the day it made me so happy and I'm grateful you've decided to share so many parts of your journey! :)
Congratulations! So much good news from one call. You've worked so hard for this, it is well deserved! I'm looking forward to following all that comes next in Act 2!
Fantastic!!! Your summer has been awesome!!! I did nothing but try to heal after my accident, but I'm home at last, I have wi-fi again, and I can catch up! Love the new place. Hurray for Seattle!
Congrats, congrats, congrats! I’m glad you had a trial run with this agent. And it’s a marvel you were able to work before the call. I know that even though you knew it was an offer I would still be sweating buckets lol. Maybe being more at ease is something that comes with experience and time. I heard about the B&N debacle, but is there a video I can be directed to as to why you don’t want to be published in YA right now?
