I just found out this afternoon that Gallery has finally assigned me a publicist. I can’t even lie… it’s SO COOL.
So from now on, Blog Friends, please do not approach me directly. I am much too important. Please direct all your inquiries to Stephanieβ
I KID, I KID. If you know anything about me by now, you know that I have ZERO EGO. Nobody’s more surprised than me that I’m on this ride!
And so far, it’s definitely been fun. I’m very blessed.
Now if the current WIP would just magically come together, maybe I could get some sleep. But maybe that’s asking too much? Possibly? Yes?
Probably.
(One thing I’ve learned about this whole writing gig: blessed or not, there’s always something new to stress about.)
Things are really going your way. Be sure to stress about that!
OMG, so cool! Congratulations! Or should I be emailing this comment to your publicist? Ha, just kidding ;p
Woohoo! Totally awesome. I'm so excited for you! You'll have to tell us more about what kinds of things a publicist does. Unless it's all top secret π I have a general idea, but that's about it.
Congratulations! That's so exciting! π
I tried to leave a comment, but your publicist directed me to the press release instead. Bummer!
Haha! No, congrats on the great news. This is so exciting!
I thought the title was "I have a pugilist" and as I used to box I know what that is!
Congrats! Your book is on the ready to go list! I can read 300 pages a night so I hope it is long! All my best.
Very, very cool Jenny! You're moving on up, to the big time… π
Awesome! So exciting! Hopefully we'll get to hear more from the publicity front. I'm curious what that'll be like! π
Dear Jennifer Hillier's Personal Assistant's Undersecretary's Chief Letter-Opener,
Please convey my heartiest congratulations.
Humble and Unworthy Regards

We pray and pray for publication but we are clueless about the emotional ride that we step on when signing the contract. I get it. Thankful, yes. Terrified at times, yes. congrats on the progress!!
Congrats on your publicist! Whoo hoo!
Congrats Jennifer. I'll be able to say that I followed your blog before you went big time with the publicist.
Publicist! Fancy. Don't worry about your MS. Well, go ahead and worry, but it will come together, a little more every day.
Congratulations – and that is so true about each step bringing someing new to stress over!
Warm congrats on the publicist! I also gave you the Stylish Blogger Award. Because your bloody bullet holes are awesome.
Yay Jennifer! I'm so happy for you, it's all coming together now *insert evil laugh here*! Step by step, you're getting there!
Congratulations! That is wonderful news. I am new to your blog– can't wait to dig into it a bit more– looks really cool!
Oh that's so awesome!! Congrats!!
You make me proud every day! π
Oh wow, this is so freaking cool. Simon & Schuster might just have a lot of faith in you.
Very exciting!!
Congrats, Jennifer. I hope you will be sharing all the secrets you learn!
– Sophia.
Congratulations. I don't know a whole lot of writers who have publicists. Seriously awesome.
You made such a nice comment about my "10 reasons I'm not reading your blog" post on Monica's site that I had to come over and visit. Nice, easy to read blog here, in spite of the (necessarily) dark color scheme. Works for me.
That great news.
I'm in such a giggly mood this made me chuckle!
I knew you before you were famous… YOU REMEMBER THAT!!!
Just teasing! Have a fabulous weekend you fabulous celebrity π
I just can't imagine – a publicist! That's beyond cool. Congratulations!
Dear Stephanie,
Please send Jennifer my congratulations.
Very exciting!
LOL. Now I have to talk to your people first??? Congrats to you!!!! You so deserve all of this.
If she needs help spreading the word about how freakin' awesome you are, you know all your bloggy friends are ready to step up!!lol
Holy cow, thanks for all the support, guys! A person can never have enough good vibes come their way, and yet I'm feeling pretty filled up right now thanks to my bloggy peeps. Thank you!
(Plus did I mention you guys are hilarious? :D)
Yay for publicists! So cool! Exciting times, my friend. π
Another benefit of NOT self-publishing: you get a PUBLICIST. So very, very cool!
I hope you feel like it's good stress. That is cool news indeed!
Yay for a publicist! You're super important now! Congrats!!!
Please go around saying "We must do lunch. I'll get my people to call your people" at every available opportunity.
You are sooo right. That is soooo cool! I'll more or less be my own publicist with my small pub, so kudos to ya.
Major congrats!
That's great!!
Congratulations on your success. π I hope to count myself amongst those ranks someday too. It's very exciting I'm sure. Can you tell me how you customized your blog? I'd like to do something to spice up the look of mine too.
