I know I’ve been killing you guys with the hints, but I can finally say it …
I’m now represented by Deborah Warren at East/West Literary Agency!!!
I am beyond excited to announce that I am now represented by the amazing Deborah Warren @EastWestLit!! 🥳🥳So honored to be on this publishing journey with her and the rest of the East/West Family!
— Nicole Hewitt (@NicoleMHewitt) February 27, 2019
I can’t even begin to tell you guys how thrilled I am about this partnership. It almost seems surreal. In fact, those of you who’ve been around my blog for the past few weeks know that I was doubting myself there for a while. Impostor Syndrome works fast, trust me, and I kept thinking to myself that it couldn’t really be happening.
It’s. Really. Happening.
I met Deborah at an SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators) conference back in October, and I was thoroughly impressed with her and East/West Literary. The fact that I get to work with her now is honestly a dream come true. Obviously, I still have a long publishing journey ahead of me, but this is a major first step, and I wanted to share my excitement with all of you, my readers. You guys have been cheering me on for years, and I am so incredibly thankful for that!
