And despite a few totally forgivable frazzled moments from the author, it sounds like she did a really great job of keeping it together and asking good questions. The only "call" I've really gotten was when I was notified I won a contest and my collection would be published — and I am ashamed to say I completely dissolved into an incoherent mess.

So, I get that it's best to send manuscripts to agents to seek representation instead of sending it to publishers?

I especially like NA accusing you of being Kelly. My CP's name is Kelly and probably the only person besides my husband that would know the lit agent world and my manuscript well enough TO prank me – even though she wouldn't.

So funny.

After hearing a heavy "thud," the new author's husband comes on the line to explain that new author has passed out.

Thanks for sharing it! But honestly, if I ever get "the call," I don't think I'll be able to be that calm or keep it together that well–thinking that clearly and asking coherant questions. I'll probably come off like a stuttering, fumbling fool. Still, I'd like to give it a shot.
