I'm super excited and grateful to be able to share that I signed with a literary agent to represent my novel.

She announced it today on her website and I had my first ever author interview https://bookendsliterary.com/n.....nsky/

Thank you so much to all the wonderful Beta Readers here who took the time to read my novel and share your feedback and advice. I really tried to take everyone's feedback into account and I think it made the novel much stronger.

Thank you!

I hope one day to bez"h be able to share when my story is published :-)

I also want to encourage all the other writers out there not to give up. It was a really long journey to writing this book, especially since I work fill time. And it's not easy to "break into" the general publishing world, but, especially as Orthodox women I think it's so important for us to share our stories, instead of having others tell them for us.

That is awesome!! I’m in the middle of writing a women’s fiction novel now too. I related so deeply to everything you wrote in your interview! (Specifically the inspired scenes and pulling teeth part- it gave me hope!) Can’t wait to hear when you get accepted by a publisher!

Mazal tov!
I wish I had the honor of being one of your beta readers, but I guess I'm not around imamother enough...
I loved your interview!
I am a published author of a professional textboook but always dreamed of writing creatively and have been toying around with some ideas for some time.
Thanks for the inspiration. I look forward to reading your published book!
