Agent Appreciation Day!

December 11th, 2009

Happy Agent Appreciation Day, agents! My agent, the ever-delightful Kate Schafer Testerman (or Daphne Unfeasible, as some may know her), makes my life better and easier exponentially.

  1. She believes in me and my writing, even when I’m having a crappo day. I try to be a ridiculously positive person, but I still have crappo days on occasion. When those occur it’s so good to have Kate in my corner.
  2. She is freakishly optimist – the best kind of cheerleader to have. It’s tough worrying the worst will happen if Kate’s involved in any way.
  3. She has excellent taste in shoes. (Though sometimes she puts me in positions where I must resist the urge to purchase MORE SHOES CONSTANTLY.)
  4. She loves much of the random pop culture I do, as well as cute dogs, which means we have a fantastic amount in common on top of the whole literary thing. For me that’s a really good added bonus, considering how much random crap I often feel the need to talk about.
  5. She couldn’t be better with quick responses to questions, jumping on the phone when I need to talk something out, and making me feel less panicked when I get into that mode.

In short, she is A++ awesome, and the best agent I could have hoped for.
