Yesterday was one of THE most exciting days of my life. I spoke on the phone with renowned literary agent, Jenny Bent. She represents many NYTs bestselling authors (Laurie Notaro, Celia Rivenbark, and THE Sweet Potato Queen Jill Conner Browne!) and has agreed to represent MOI! I will be going to NYC in early August to meet with her and begin revising my manuscript.
Agent Jenny gave me some homework. I need all you folks who are getting on Robin’s Chicks everyday to sign up as followers here, on Facebook, Twitter AND to leave your comments on the blog. A lot of people comment to me on FB or send them to my email, which I VERY much appreciate, but Super Agent Lady says they need to be on the blog. So if something makes you laugh or reminds you of something that happened with your own herd…leave a comment!
And MOST importantly please tell your friends about the website…you know those mass emails your friend sends you all the time with 800 email addresses before yours…but you read the email and you are like…”Hey, that was pretty funny!” Make one of those and tell all your peeps about all the fun you are having at Robin’s Chicks.
Thanks again to all my Chicks and Chick Magnets for your support!
Well, that IS exciting!
Love reading your blog and I would love to comment, too. I have just been stalling because we have never actually met…except I feel like I do know you because you are such a good friend of my sister's…Emily.
Anyway, congrats on the agent!
SCORE ROBIN!!! I'm totally buying your book when it comes out!! I was telling Lee yesterday, how you are stinking hilarious, and make me do belly laughs! haha. I'm so excited for you! That's huge news!

Word! Mama deserves an agent. Few people make me laugh out loud. You are one of them.
Not only will I congratulate you here on the blog, I'm going to submit your success to The Quill along with the link to the blog. The Charleston Chapter of SCWW is WAY proud of you!
Robin,
That is amazing! I'm sleep walking through my second week post delivery and catching up my blog reading. What awesome news. I can't wait to follow your journey.
