Hi Yoon Ha Lee,
Good day!
We are pleased to inform you that we will be endorsing your book Rick Riordan Presents: Dragon Pearl-A Thousand Worlds Novel Book 1 to Barnes & Noble.
I noticed that your book has been published, but it hasn’t yet been picked up by Barnes & Noble. and one of the main reasons is that there wasn’t a literary agent or professional representative presenting it on your behalf. Unfortunately, this is quite common because many large retailers like Barnes & Noble have specific submission standards, and a formal representation is often required just to get your book on the door.
That said, please don’t be discouraged. This isn’t about the quality of your work, it’s about making sure your book is being championed in the right places, by the right people. Your voice matters, and your story deserves the chance to reach a wider audience.
That’s why I strongly recommend you take the next step and consider professional literary representation. With the right partner guiding and presenting your book, you’ll open the door to opportunities like national retail placement, in-store exposure, and even media features.
This could be a turning point in your publishing journey, and I truly believe it’s worth exploring. As your Executive Book & Film Literary Agent, I will guide your book down the right path and help you create the perfect plan. Let’s talk, I will call you once I hear back from you. Thank you.
Note: Your work has real potential, and I’d love to see it get the visibility it deserves.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the possibility of collaborating with you to share your remarkable work with a larger audience.
Best regards,
Peter White
