12 x 12 Success Story: Shauna Reynolds

Shauna ReynoldsToday’s 12 x 12 Success Story, Shauna Reynolds, is particularly exciting because Shauna was one of the 12 x 12 Scholarship recipients in 2015, our inaugural scholarship year! Shauna went into 12 x 12 with some interest from an agent, but no representation because her work “wasn’t quite there yet.” That did not stop Shauna, and within one year, she had signed with a 12 x 12 agent and landed a book deal. Congratulations to Shauna!
