I'm so glad I found your post! I can't wait to read Larry Brooks article about what makes "The Help" so good.
And thanks for telling us such encouraging info about Kathryn Stockett and how that was her FIRST novel and she was rejected by 45 agents! It's so great to hear things like that.
I enjoyed hearing your query letter praised by Elana Johnson in her query workshop at LDStorymakers. And I have to tell you - I love your name!
So excited you two found your way here!
