Actually, there was only one in between the novel Carolyn took me on with and ACID, and it didn't get sent out because it ended up not really working.

Carolyn has been fantastic - a mentor as well as an agent. Even though my first book didn't sell, the experience of revising it with her expert help taught me so much. Having an agent is about so much more than just getting that book deal!Emma Passhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209194238119830841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169809609802357406.post-36444514456836914152012-05-24T18:45:48.905+01:002012-05-24T18:45:48.905+01:00I love your story, Emma!

The fact that your agent patiently received all three copies of your manuscript makes it all the better.<br /><br />My agent and I also went through two books and four years together before we sold one of my manuscripts (and she was my second agent!).
