Writing finished and posted before the last possible second of my deadline. I deserve a reward. And I have lots of options because I have a million easter treats here and two sick kids.

– Not hearing back from agents? Try newer agents looking to fill their client lists
Still want to sign with an established agent? Demonstrating interest from other agents can bump your manuscript to the top of the pile
Publisher’s Marketplace is a great resource to find agents who are actively making deals and see if they look like a good fit for you!

The results are in, and the highly anticipated Pantone colour of the year — seen by many as capturing the current cultural zeitgeist and setting the tone for the year ahead — is brown. Mocha Mousse, to be specific.
