2012 has been a big year for me--and an awesome one. The newest big/awesome piece of news was in PW Daily today. If you missed it, check it out here.
Joanna Volpe is our new fearless leader and our agency name is changing to New Leaf Literary and Media.
This is beyond awesome. We're still in the same office with the same phone numbers and working with the same clients, and we're really excited about all of the things we're going to be doing in this changing and growing industry.
But what does this mean if you're querying or if I've requested your manuscript?
Well, if you're querying, check out my updated submission guidelines, just below this post. I've updated them! (The big change is just the email address, but I've also updated what I'm looking for).
And if I requested your manuscript, don't worry, I still have it. I ported all my emails (not quite as fancy as it sounds) so they've all been sucked into my new New Leaf email address.

Five Random Things About Suzie
1. I drink so much orange soda, it's probably running through my veins. I've been known to go through a twelve pack of diet sunkist in a day.
2. I'm legitimately nocturnal (or a vampire). I will be so exhausted at two pm that I'm falling asleep standing up - it has happened before, at Six Flags no less - but as soon as the sun goes down I'm wide awake.
3. I have a gorgeous unused $6000 Reem Acra wedding dress hanging in my closet, and it showed up on my doorstep the same day my (now ex) fiance broke up with me. And thank God for that. I wouldn't have wanted to waste that dress on him.
4. Social anxiety plagues me daily. I write a script and practice in front of the mirror when I have to make a phone call, but most people who interact with me have no idea how nervous I am (or perhaps they lie) because I've worked so hard to try to overcome it.
5. I'm actually worried that I will never love my children (when I do have them in the far off future) as much as I love my dogs. I just like animals better than people - they're sweet and innocent and soft and furry - is that so wrong?

That's great news, Suzie. Hope all goes well for you.
Best with "turning over a new leaf", and thanks for clarifying the submission/requested ms info!

Fearless Leader! I love it :-)
Congrats! And best of luck to you. :)
