All I Want for Christmas Is a Literary Agent

Journey to Publication - Week 9

The holiday season is upon us! This year for the holidays, I’m asking Santa for a literary agent for my novel THE LILAC ROOM.

If you are not Santa, you can still make my dream come true! Check out my pitch for THE LILAC ROOM, and don’t forget to like or restack this post so that we can secure additional literary agent referrals and get this book out into the world. I promise you—it’ll be worth it!

Make Liza’s dream come true here:

I have a lot of great insider posts about the publishing industry planned for 2025, but please let me know in the comments if there are any additional topics you want covered as we head into the New Year, and I’ll do my best to get a post out based on everyone’s requests!

Journey to Publication - Week 9 Updates

As the publishing industry takes a pause for the holidays, responses are slowing down, but I’m fairly optimistic that we’ll get a literary agent soon. This week, we received two new full manuscript requests and now have twelve literary agents reading THE LILAC ROOM. The odds are in our favor, and I’m confident that THE LILAC ROOM is already in the hands of my future agent.
