Less than 24 hours after I sent her a query letter for my conceptual memoir, Dream Pop Origami, Melissa Flashman wrote back requesting the full manuscript. In many ways, this is really awesome considering that she was one of the first agents I queried, in part because she's very forward thinking and is always looking for something that's bold, fresh and also deals with what it means to be human--all things I also care about deeply in my own writing. Anyway, I won't get my hopes up at this point but I'm happy to see her interest in my manuscript. She's exactly the agent, or the type of agent, I'd want interested in my memoir.
