@natiwata Thank you! I'm thrilled and floored because you are right, ABLA is a great agency for kidlit and picture books so I am so grateful for the opportunity. They have a good reputation.
I sent Kathleen my portfolio and heard back within two days. We chatted for a while on the phone and she read a few of my stories too and offered to rep both my illustration work and my writing.
I had interest from multiple agencies so it was a crazy week, I was shocked by the response. I think it helped that I already had interest in my work coming in from a few publishers.
I am really happy with how things ended up.
She seemed really excited about what she saw and we clicked well and had similar goals for my career.
Now for the hard part... making a book and putting it out on submission and waiting and hoping!
