Last week I sent out my first agent query for Winterland and while it was nerve-wracking, it was also exciting. It was the moment I’d been waiting for, building up towards, and something I’d put off too. Winterland, my new fantasy romance novel, was completed back in November 2018 and after editing and polishing it – attending the Finish Your Novel course with Conor Kostick and the Edit Your Novel course with Brian Langan, I had no excuses left. It was now or never.
