Nothing can really prepare you for a good Kirkus Review. If you are a writer, or know a writer, you likely have heard of this publication. Kirkus has a reputation for being tough. If they like your book, you've arrived at a peak visible only to anyone who has gone through the many years of process to write a manuscript and see a book through to publication. It's a full-time job and all-consuming. Getting two thumbs up from Kirkus is arriving at a mountain top after a long climb and dunking yourself in a cool stream. It's exhilirating, and it's a feeling that won't soon leave you. Like getting an A+ report card.
