I’ve been researching literary agencies and agents in search of a good match for me and The Spanish Coin. Two agents have risen to the top of the list, and I have prepared letters and other documentation to send to them. After some last minute tweaking, I’ll send them off. Then I’ll select another agent to write, then another one, and so forth until I find the right one.

This is a big step for me!

Today I’m faced with the challenge of summarizing my 98,000-word Spanish Coin manuscript in about 40 words and writing a cover letter that will convince a literary agent to read the first three chapters of my book.

This is possibly the most important letter I’ve ever written. No pressure there!
