Huzzah!
I have an agent!
And yes, it is the Dream Agent I did the Revise and Resubmit for.
While I wouldn’t recommend an R&R as way to maintain sanity, I’m beyond grateful that it worked out. Mollie Glick of Foundry Media liked my revision enough to offer to represent me, and I — duh — said yes! I first heard of Mollie when she flew out to Kansas City to convince Gennifer Albin to choose her as an agent. It was so above and beyond anything I’ve ever heard of an agent doing, that I decided whenever I was ready to query, that lady was going to be at the top of my list. And when she asked for an R&R, I decided that I would do it for a couple reasons: number one, her insights for revision would make Landry Park a better book, and number two, I knew that if she was willing to invest that much energy into talking with me about the book, then she would invest a ton more if she ever represented me.
So, yes. I have an agent and (fingers crossed) submissions will happen soon. Hopefully within a few months, Professor Farnsworth will have more news to announce to you all.

Yay yay yay! Think of all the banjo playing you endured at Starbucks, and know that it was worth it.
Laundry…Park?

Hey, that banjo playing was downright inspirational.
