Congratulations on your promotion!!! Did I miss this somehow? Nice how you just kind of sneaked it in at the end of your work list... :)
Congratulations on the promotion!
Quick question: I asked my agent to send my MS your way. Are you still the right editor for that, or are you delegating acquisition type stuff to the new underlings?
Amy--it became official in mid-December but was just announced in Pub Lunch this week.
Anon--I'm still acquiring!
Awesome! My agent says he's now submitted it to you. :-D
