SF and I haven't been agented for long, but we can definitely say that we ADORE ours!!!!
KATIE: Cheryl makes me feel like the most inspired soul on the planet. She's a terrific cheerleader and my brainstorming twin. We tend to think just alike which makes it oh so easy to trust her judgement when submission time rolls around. Not to mention the fact that she's crafty, strategic and uber creative. And... She just ran the NYC marathon, making her just about the coolest chick I know! Thank you so much Cheryl!!!
SF: Well, I just have to say that I adore Joanna. She is enthusiastic, encouraging, and dead-on with her comments and suggestions. I can't say enough about how wonderful she is, but the very best thing that she has done for me has been to bring the FUN back into this whole process. I mean, I'm writing and illustrating picture books for children--it's supposed to be a wacky, wild ride . . . not something to sit around and ponder over while sipping cognac.
Jo has given me such a boost of enthusiasm, and I am once again pumped about working on my books. After a bit of a crazy agent search, I feel like I have met my perfect match!
This is what we used to think agents were.
Now we know better :-)
And we're not the only thankful chaps. Check out all these writers who love their agents too!
And a HUGE thanks to Kody for organizing this blessed event :-) Thanks y'all!

Aw!!! I'm so glad you guys are in on agent day! Nice to meet you!
I"m also with Joanna SV - and TOTALLY agree with you, SF. She brings in the fun!
It's supposed to be fun, but a little cognac every once in a while doesn't hurt :)
You ladies are lucky to be repped by such great people. Congratulations!
Yaaaay or Agents Day!! I've met one or two super cool agents, but I've yet to meet my perfect match. I know it'll happen some day so it's all good experience in between. I love SF's comment about Joanna bringing the fun back to writing because sometimes it can becomes a darn and if Joanna makes it right again then she's a true gem.
