Profile Update: No longer working as a literary agent.

Thanks LightofBeauty

Rhea has not only left HG Literary but is also leaving agenting all together (as said by email).

Profile Update: No longer listed on the agency website.

9/7/19 pitched an MG story of magical realism (40k) at a writter's conference. Ms. Lyons said to send it to her when it was polished.

9/10/19 Ms. Lyons emailed me saying she hoped I didn't mind her tracking me down (via the conference chairs) but that she couldn't stop thinking about my story and when might it be ready?

9/10/19 I replied that I was thrilled and would send her the first 6 chapters (all polished) on Friday.

9/13/19 Emailed her the first 6 chapters.

9/13/19 Ms. Lyons replied she had received the chapters and would get back to me in about a week.

10/22/19 Ms. Lyons apologized for the delay in responding, but said she loved what I'd done, couldn't wait to read the rest, and when would it be available?

10/23/19 I thanked her and said I would do a final proof reading and then send it.

10/28/19 I emailed the entire manuscript.

10/28/19 Ms. Lyons replied she had received the book and hoped to get back to me "in a few weeks".

3/18/20 (5 months later) I sent a nudge email to Ms. Lyons telling her that I had also turned the book into a screenplay and entered it in the ScreenCraft Animation Competition and that I was a quarterfinalist. I attached judges' comments saying that the story should be released in both book and movie format.

4/8/20 I became a semifinalist in the competition, but did not convey this to Ms. Lyons.

6/23/20 Emailed Ms. Lyons to tell her I was a finalist in the competition and to say that if I did not hear from her by August 1, I would assume she was no longer interested in my book and I would seek representation elsewhere.

8/1/20 CNR :(

Thank you for querying me. I am afraid that I am not looking to represent middle grade at the moment...
