Ire Has a Home

June 27, 2017June 28, 2017 / scottdrakeford / 6 Comments

I finally signed a contract. Ire will be the first book of a trilogy written for Tor. The first book is tentatively scheduled to be published in late 2020, and the other two books will follow shortly thereafter. Working with Tor is something of a dream come true for me. I grew up reading a … Continue reading Ire Has a Home

The Query That Worked

February 13, 2016February 13, 2016 / scottdrakeford / 2 Comments

Agent Success – Matt Bialer

May 15, 2015February 22, 2017 / scottdrakeford / 3 Comments

Mr. Matt Bialer from SJGA will be representing my first novel, IRE. I am elated to be working with him, as he's the agent I've targeted from the very beginning. An awkward 2 minute conversation back in 2013 was the turning point that led me here. The story begins way back in 2012 when I got … Continue reading Agent Success – Matt Bialer
