In gardening and in writing, the unappreciated factor is patience. You can’t force growth, can’t force the bloom, can’t rush the harvest. But how nice when they arrive.

I know publishing doesn’t work this way but this felt like an inevitability! You provide so much value and comfort on a weekly basis - so glad to see your success and you getting what you want.

Oh WOW! Kate congratulations. This newsletter has helped me immensely and when I got "the call" in March for my debut, I was armed with your fantastic advice and perspective. I recommend this newsletter to so many of my writing peeps. And soon (as soon as the publishing world moves that is) I'll be handing out your book as a must read.

Big CONGRATS, Kate (nice name!). I recently sold my first trade book--the one that had brought me to your newsletter as I tried to figure out how to get an agent and do all the rest--but I kept reading faithfully, because 1. everything you say is helpful and 2. you're such a pleasure to read. Your book's going to be amazing and I look forward to reading that too. Enjoy the process!

Congratulations, Kate!!! This is so fun coming from an agent. A reminder that we all have to pitch the goods and wait. Yay!!

Woot!! That's great news, and I know EXACTLY how it feels to put your head down on the desk in disbelief, lol. Enjoy it, sounds like it'll be a great ride. You offer so much in the newsletter and I can't wait to read it all in one place in the book-to-come. Happy pre-birthday to you!
