THE CALL Blog Hop

Coming Soon!

THE CALL Blog Hop!

Seymour Agency authors will be sharing 
their "The Call" experience on their blogs!
(The Call is when their agent called to offer representation- a very exciting time for an author!)

Come check out The Seymour Agency authors: who they are, 
what they write, what their call was like, & maybe even some
GIVEAWAYS!

THE CALL Blog Hop will take place during the week of 
January 7th-11th, with authors posting
on their blogs the 7th, 9th, & 11th.

You'll find a complete list of participating Seymour Agency authors, all representing different categories and genres, right here!

Participating authors: Below are the post prompts for the blog hop!

Jan. 7th - Before "the call." What category and genre do you write?  What to you do other than write? How did you end up in contact with your agent from the Seymour Agency (cold query, conference, etc.)? Did you communicate with your agent before you got "the call" from them (did you talk at a conference, email, do a Revise & Resubmit)? 

Jan. 9th - "The call." Do you remember the date you got the call from your agent? What did you do to prepare for the call? If you didn't get the stereotypical call then how did your agent offer representation? What was your reaction while on the phone? What was your reaction/thoughts when you got off the phone?

Jan. 11th - After "the call." What happened after the day/night of the call? Did you have to give other agents a heads up? How long before you signed papers? How long have you had your current agent? Has your agent sold your work? If so, can you give any details (Title, genre, release date)? Do you have words for aspiring writers or readers of your category and genre?

I will be answering the prompts here on my blog, as well, even though the call I received was for an internship. 

Cheers from THE CALL Blog Hop host,
