Top 10 Things I Overhead Myself Say at the Agents’ Conference (to real agents)…

by Nettie Hartsock on June 28, 2009

10. I’m funny.

9. What’s a query? Can you define it?

8. I have no experience in that subject, but I know I could write an amazing book about it.

7. I don’t need no stinkin’ editorial suggestions.

6. When you say, “That’s not funny,” are you kidding?

5. Couldn’t you just take this book idea because you like me, you really like me?

4. It’s like we’re on a first date, and my Southern accent is overwhelming you.

3. But if you just spent a day with me – you’d know how funny I am.

2. If you don’t take this book I WILL FIND YOU.

1. It’s just like Eat, Pray, Love but less eating, much less praying and bereft of love.
