Thank you, Kate!! I would love to ask how common it is for authors to sign with an agent and then not be able to sell the first book. Does the first book ever go into the compost, but then get resurrected later in a second book deal? (Is there any bright side to having failed to launch on the first go?) Thank you again for any perspective you can provide!

Happens all the time! My agent didn't sell the first book I wrote (or second or...but that is NOT his fault lol) he sent out and he's still my agent. <3 I have had VERY VERY VERY few instances where someone comes back and buys a book that didn't sell the first time around, but it's not impossible. SO MANY PEOPLE do not sell their first books. You are in GREAT company.
