I started querying my book and it's not what I expected

This is my honest experience with querying literary agents. 😊 After finishing the draft, I finally started sending my work out. I expected the query process to be filled with anxiety, but that has actually been surprisingly manageable. I wanted to share what this stage of the publishing journey has really been like for me. If you are currently writing a book or preparing to pitch, I hope this helps calm your nerves, and "get your ducks in a row" (physically and mentally). It is a big step, but you are capable of handling it at your own pace. What stage of writing are you in right now?
