She gave me a referral to another agent: 9/18

She said she loved it (ah!) but couldn't rep right now so she referred me to another agent, told me to use her name -- so very very kind & enthusiastic, I love her!

@chinadoll,
it's Poe-Elle, like Noel (my friend is repped by her--I've asked that myself :) )

Does anyone know how to properly pronounce Barbara Poelle's last name? While researching her, I heard two different pronunciations by different people who don't know her personally. Thanks in advance.

just wanted to pop over to my QueryTracker pals and say if you have the chance to work with Barbara - DO IT. i signed with her in 2012 and she has been the very best advocate a writer could dream of. she just sold my debut novel (a YA Gothic Thriller/Horror) and i cannot wait to cheer you on when she sells yours too.

Stats: it took 5 years of querying/being agented, more than a handful of books later, and lots of rejections (read: hundreds), but the main point is this: KEEP WRITING AND NEVER GIVE UP. you never know when your door is going to open. i'm rooting for all of you! http://kerrimaniscalco.com/2015/10/29/5-words-14-lettersi-have-a-book-deal/
