Re: Bloginality: The Types of Bloggers and their Attitudes
Thanks, Doug! A constant debate among my writer's group, only part of whom are sold on blogging (the part who have finished manuscripts, mind you) I'll check our your blog, too!

Bloginality: The Types of Bloggers and their Attitudes
I recently had a heated debate with one of my writing peeps. You see... she doesn't blog. She thinks we are all a lot of brown-nosing ninnies, blowing smoke up each other's skirts. And while I am not opposed to a little skirt peeping (provided they are kilts, worn in the traditional 'commando' manne...

Re: How do you personalise if u can't find info on some agents?
It seems actually there is mixed information out there on personalizing ANYWAY. I think personalizing if your book targets a similar market (and the reasons) as one of their current clients is fabulous. Saying you like dogs as much as they do crosses a line and you are far better off with just a rel...

Re: Query confusion (again)
I'm no expert either, but I've read a number of agent blogs and think you DON'T want the ending in there--in the synopsis if they ask for one, yes, in the query letter, no--the query is to give enough that they want to read more. And I completely agree with Dan--one critique is only an opinion and i...

Re: 1st round of rejections
Just got back first two rejections, eagerly anticipating (ha!) more. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Dear SuperAgent, High school senior Lucy Auburn never thought life would take her from mixing paint at the local hardware store to reading tarot cards for celebrity clients. Then again, she also did...

Re: Two queries for Epertase- Which to use?
This story sounds AMAZING. I like the first version best too. The only suggestion I might make (and others might disagree, but i thought I'd throw it out there)--the detailing is VERY dense and adds to what the story is, but dense details, complex sentence structure and long paragraph combined to ma...

Re: Query for Debut novel
I would agree that I'd like some summary of how the two story threads intertwine and why the two, facing such different obstacles, are debating throwing their fates into the same ring. It SEEMS the latter would be easier to fight (if there's no money left, there's no money--it's not HIS fault the wr...
