Thank you Poems for offering! If anyone else would like to offer what they see, all is welcomed.

My question is: Will I find a literary agent anytime by the end of this year or beginning of next that will offer me representation? And if so, will this agent be one of the agents that requested material from me during DVpit or the ones that weren't from that pitch party that I sent my query to?

Also, will I be a winner of p2p16 and be paired with an editor for my novel?

If you can describe how the person looks, that would also be helpful. I could also provide names of the ones that I am more interested in becoming my agent. Of course, if you see an agent in my near future then the name wouldn't matter, lol.

Thank you in advance!

After the questions you asked me, I could only understood one of the questions and it was The first one.

At first I thought it was a yes, but the last card I pulled was 3 of swords and that put me off.

The first card was 10 of pentacles, this tells me that this could be a long term agent that could stick by your side.. and I know 10 of pentacles is stability and money related.. material related also.. so either what I said before or this means making sure you have the right amount of money to be able to afford an agent for a long time? The 2 of cups is usually the card of finding a match for you, to be able to agree with one another. The 3 of swords kinda just tells me that you won't be too happy for some reason. May be because you haven't found the right agent for your work. But I only asked for this year

Can you explain your second question and third though? I didn't understand what p2p16 is and DVpit.

Also I'm not too good with yes or no. so I could be wrong, I didn't think you was gonna ask though lol.

Well, I don't have to pay anything for an agent, so I'm not quite sure what that would mean. Unless that means the profit of my book selling will do well for the both of us? Lol. Not really sure.


Those are contest to help writers find an agent basically. Well, DVpit was the writers pitching their novel on Twitter, and if an agent likes it that means they re showing interesting and requesting material. I received 9 likes from agents during this contest. An p2p16 is editors being paired off with writers to help them edit their novel.

And sorry, lol. I originally didn't have any intentions of asking, but I decided to ask.

Well if 10 of pentacles isn't about money then.. it could just be stability or an agent that stays with you for a long time? This is usually a good card when it comes to having it all together. The material things and so on.

This is what I'mma do, I will pull gypsy cards as they are more straight forward and predictive. And just let me know if any of it make sense. I'm gonna pull right now.

I asked for next year and these what the cards I got,

The first card is wife. I'm not sure what your gender is, but this can sometimes point to a woman that is in a relationship/married or trying to be understanding, gentle, and cooperating. Not sure how this card has to do with you.
The next card is Misfortune. Now before you think "Oh no, that's not good", well it could mean something minor.. like something that didn't go your way at first, but can get better afterwards.
The next card is Merchant, now this usually business related, could be a trade or just business. Could be trying to earn more money some how towards your profit...
The last card is Servant, and that means being obedient and doing what you are suppose to do. This may mean that you want someone to follow the rules of what they are being told to do.

I think with this spread you will find someone.. but.. keep a look out on that misfortune card as this means having some trouble at first.

For the winner question.. I'm a little curious here.

Is someone in charge.. I know there is a boss but do you know who is in charge? You may have to be a bit careful here. But answer that question.. I really don't want to assume anything.. :/

Well, I am a woman lol. Thank you for the reading! I'll have to come back and update you about the literary agent.

As for the winner, yes I know who runs the contest. It's a well-known contest among writers. Some of the editors in the contest are apart of well established literary agencies. So there isn't really anything bad about it, if that's what you were seeing? Not sure what you were trying to convey with being careful, but just in case I will.

Hmm okay, I was asking because beside the leader (the one that is in control) is a card called Falseness. This usually talks about something that is not true or lies. That's why I'm confused on if it's about the author or something else. But since you think it's not about the author then it could mean something else.

Edit: just noticed i was rereading your reply and I was trying to figure out, are you saying that you know who the leader that will choose winner?

But I do want to add, you will get a message, but I'm not sure if you will win or not as the cards doesn't really say a yes or no.

No, I was saying that I know who created the contest. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Well, I did receive a partial yesterday from one of the editors. She is still considering my work, so I'll have to see what happens whenever I hear from her.

Just an update. As for the contest, I wasn't chosen unfortunately.

As far an literary agents go, I'm still waiting to hear back from a few of them. I've received two rejections so far.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope someone does choose you. I also know that Falseness can mean lies or cheating.. is that possible you think?

I don't think it was possible in this situation. But thank you! I hope I will be able to find an agent soon.

I going to apply for another mentor contest that starts next month. I'm crossing my fingers for that!
