Happy New Year!

Since I didn't get my first cell phone until 2004, I thought it appropriate to start blogging in 2011. Who knows,  maybe I'll join Facebook in 2012.

Now that I am here, I have no idea what to write about, so dear readers, any questions for this here agent? Please fire away!

Weed Literary has a very busy year ahead, with 10 books publishing this Spring alone. Of them, there are five debut novels hitting the bookshelves, so I am looking forward to interviewing these lovely authors about their experiences leading up to this exciting moment in the coming months.  More to come!

  1. Welcome to the blogosphere! I look forward to reading The Weekly Weeder. You have a fine crop of authors on Twitter and the free and generous advice they dole out on their own blogs has been very helpful. I'm sure this will be, too.

  2. Looking forward to your blog! I've read your articles on Writer Unboxed and on Allison Winn Scotch's site. I started a blog two months ago, and I'm already a maniac (which means I won't be stalking you--I mean sending you a manuscript for some time).

  3. Good luck with your blog, Elisabeth. I started mine in earnest in early October, so I'm a relative newcomer myself. Looking forward to reading your work.

  8. Hello Elisabeth! Allison Winn Scotch speaks so highly of you on her blog I had to visit The Weekly Weeder. Plus, her advice to writers is so clear and rational, I reasoned she must have learned a lot from you. Happy blogging! James

  12. I just found Allison's blog and I am devouring it. When she mentioned your blog, I hurried on over to check it out and sign up. I look forward to reading your advice. I enjoy blogging mostly but I did have a short story published and every now and then I find the courage to submit another one. Good luck and I look forward to reading more!

  13. Hi Elisabeth, friend of Allison's, and you so kindly considered my novel a long while ago (waaay back when you repped Breakout Babe!). Am interested in learning more about the awesome new authors you are bringing out in 2011!

  15. Elisabeth, I do love your taste in authors. Is it possible that I'm featuring all 5 spring debuts on The Divining Wand?

  16. Welcome to the world of blogging. When I'm drawing a blank on a topic for my thrice weekly blog I'll go to my Google Reader and start reading other blogs for inspiration. Pretty soon I'll have a "That reminds me of..." moment and off I go. I've added you to my GR so I'm sure you'll one day be providing inspiration. I'll thank you in advance :-)

    Best wishes with your new venture.
