Can you tell me why my email address isn't being accepted or what to do to get into this meeting?
So frustrating?
Am I doing something wrong? I'm a member, but can't get in.

I don't think they have to be dark. Mine sure isn't. If I can find the info I just got on what's selling lately, I'll forward it, but it's not dystopian. (Agent Mary Kole says we are in a "trend valley" right now).
I'm about halfway through a revision o Snark and would be happy to exchange. I have two more weeks of teaching and dealing with students and then I will have time for the first time in a long time to actually get to this writing thing. I'm getting my first five pages critiqued at New England SCBWI conference today and a critique from an agent tomorrow, Hopefully I'll be energized to get this writing going -- and not demoralized. (Even so, I would still help if I can!)

tried to follow the link to the latest revision but it's gone, and so is the original, I think. Send it if you want more feedback -- but I totally understand if you are sick of it (and me!) :)

I user stock photography and due to my total lack of any kind of graphics skills, PowerPoint and then the ever helpful "screen shot" to pull it from there.

Hi! Thanks! I did do them, though I'm not a graphic artist by any stretch. Whenever I find myself procrastinating on my writing, I try to do something in that universe, be it a blog post or a cover or even "casting" my characters on a stock photo site. It keeps me in the mind set even if it's not actual words on the page. I'm definitely going to try and get an agent. I'm not cut out for doing all the behind the scenes work for my own writing.
Thanks for all your help so far and yes, let's keep helping each other!
xoxo,
Jen

G. Donald Cribbs said… Dear Carolyn,
Based on this thread: (http://yalitchat.ning.com/group/agentinbox/forum/topics/welcome-to-agent-mailbox) I read down in the comments and realized we should have posted in the comments section of the page for proper submission. You might want to repost there and delete the comment above. FYI.
Best of luck in the submission process!
Regards,
Don
