“My father was a writer, so I grew up writing and reading and I was really encouraged by him. I had some sort of gift and when it came time to try to find a publisher I had a little bit of an "in" because I had his agent I could turn to, to at least read my initial offerings when I was about 20. But the only problem was that they were just awful, they were just terrible stories and my agent, who ended up being my agent, was very, very sweet about it, but it took about four years until I actually had something worth trying to sell.” WritingTryingYearsLittlesStoriesProblemTurnsReadingFatherBitsFourSweetGrewTerribleLittle BitGrew UpSellsAwfulAgentsFour YearsOfferingPublishersInitialsWriting And ReadingVery Sweet Author:Anne Lamott
