Hey there. I saw your profile and I think we might be a good match. I'm finished my 85k YA novel with paranormal elements and romantic themes as well. I also have an agent who's interested but I know I need to tighten it up. Interested? Please email me at jourdania@gmail.com

Hey back, and no problem. I could do about a week. I just finished the last revision of my YA, so I'm brain dead when it comes to starting my next project. Figured I'd take a bit of time off.

Email me, and we can work out the details. BTW - Congrats on the agent interest. Good luck with it :)

I appreciate the offer, but looking at your profile, I don't think we would be a good match. Thanks all the same. :-)
