March 10, 2008: Joanna called and offered me representation. She requested to see the full manuscript that same day. January 18, 2008: Joanna emails me on an unrelated subject (I was a Browne & Miller intern in the summer of 2007, she was catching up and asking for permission to give another intern my email address) I email her back with some personal chit chat, permission to disseminate my email address to anyone she wanted, and the query letter for my novel. If you have access to the University of Chicago MAPH archives (meaning, you are a current or former U of C MAPH student), you can see a first draft of the first 60 pages there. June 2007: I finish All Unquiet Things it is my graduate thesis. Despite Neily’s initial reluctance, he and Audrey begin their investigation at the posh private school they attend, identifying prime suspects from among their spoiled classmates and digging up secrets about Carly’s past to get to the truth behind her murder.įor anyone interested in how exactly I ended up selling the book (and by “I” here of course I mean my wonderful agent Joanna), here’s a timeline as to how things went down: She is convinced that he knows more than he thinks about the events that led up to Carly’s death. Determined to prove his innocence, Audrey Ribelli contacts Carly’s ex-boyfriend, Neily Monroe, the boy who found Carly’s body. Carly’s uncle, a dissolute alcoholic, was convicted of the crime, but a year later his daughter still doesn’t believe her father is guilty.
