I remember while researching literary agents this topic came up. Agents will want you to of course promote the book and it w

Sometimes the best things that ever happen in our lives come to us when we least expect it. I had no idea when I took a walk with my sister one random summer’s day I would soon create an entire world out of one little moment of musing. Often times I begin to daydream without realizing it.
