150 pages

So about three days ago, I finished my manuscript at a whopping 58,993 words in about 2 weeks. I call that a record time. I have been editing it since and it's looking pretty damn good. You are all probably wondering what kind of book it is, but I don't want to give away too much info until I find a publisher. The main character is an unfortunate 18 year old boy and it takes place in Manhattan. Try to picture a modern day "Catcher in the Rye", with deeper characters and wilder adventures.

I have been reading up and researching the publication process and right now I'm at the "agent hunt" part. This involves searching for somebody to represent and fight in the literary jungle for my manuscript. Wish me luck, and I'll keep you all updated. Frankstapher, out.
