“Unraveling Destiny: Amy Fish Reveals the Secrets Behind ‘One In Six Million’ and Its Unforgettable Journey”
LL: That’s beautiful. I would like you to tell the story, because it is such a good, persistence story about how you got your agent. Oh, because you kept in touch with him for a long time before he signed you, right?
AF: Okay, this is a great story, and I’m so happy you asked me, because I really want other writers to know about this. I went into the MFA program with an agent. I had a great agent. We worked on two projects together. One did not sell. One sold really nicely — I Wanted Fries with That. We continued to keep in touch. She knew about the Stanley project, and I was about to go on submission — my summer MFA was a two year program, so in the middle summer of the program, I was going to go on submission. My proposal was done. And then I got a call from her saying, “I am resigning from this agency, and I am leaving the publishing industry, and I am not going to be an agent anymore.”
