The life cycle of books and trees; cultural appropriation; what makes a good fight scene; acquisitions insight; contentious industry buyouts & policies; literary obits; + a lemony tea.
Spring is such a season of hope! I'm hoping along with you that you see both creative and vegetal fruit this year! (Also, major props for finishing revisions during the pandemic. I'm in that process as well, and it's SO HARD.)
I loved the story. I've had a similar experience, here in Austin, TX, trying to grow a lemon tree. And I've had a similar experience with finding an agent and then failing to find a publisher. It sounds like you've got a great plan for your book search. I ended up parting ways with my agent, and now I have an EXCELLENT editor who is helping make my memoir better and helping me find a new agent. Anyway - I just wanted to say hello from a random person you don't know/fellow author/fellow tree-grower :-) All the best, and thanks for your newsletter!

First, best of luck in placing your book! And yes, I did very little last year too. Love your little peach tree. May it gift you a sweet harvest.
