How They Came to Us

Ally sent a query letter by email. Kristin actually took her on for a book she never went on to shop. Ally was deep in revisions when she decided to do a palate cleanse and write CHEATING AT SOLITAIRE, which became Ally’s first published novel. After selling another client’s debut YA novel, Kristin sent a group email out to all her current clients to see if anyone else had interest in writing for that market. It’s that email that sparked I’D TELL YOU I LOVE YOU BUT THEN I’D HAVE TO KILL YOU. Ally still has the original email Kristin sent!
