congratulations! @xin-li !

Two quick questions,
Did you wait for all agents' response and then signed with Plum Pudding?
Are they representing your worldwide rights or mostly Europe?

Thanks!

No I did not wait for all responses. I did sent a follow up email to all agencies I applied, telling them I got an offer. Plum Pudding represents me pretty much worldwide, I have a list of excluded countries/regions on my contract (mostly because it does not make sense to go through an agent with Scandiavian publishers, because the norm here is artists working directly with editors).

To beginin with I just assumed no agent will not reply at all due to the lockdown. In fact, I was suprised by how many people take the time replying to me in this extroadinary time. I got a few very friendly rejection emails, and I am super grateful for that.

I did get another portential offer from an agent I did not apply in the US. She has heard of me from an editor I have reached out. I decide to go with Plum Pudding for a number of reasons. Things can really go in an interesting way. So just get your work out to places you want to be, something will happen eventually.
