Gain a Literary Agent, Celebrate a Pivotal Moment

January 31, 2022 by Kelley Lindberg Leave a Comment

Some life changes drift past you so slowly, you don’t recognize them as they’re happening. It may take years before you can look back and say, “Oh, that’s where things started to change for me.” Other life changes stand up, grab you by the shoulders, and give you a shake. “Here. Now.
