Re: Confession time
PJ's of course! I love that "PJ's" are the resounding majority. It's hilarious and comforting all at once. Ahhh...if only I could do this forever. Starting Grad school shortly and I don't believe the profs will appreciate me coming to class in my robe even if it means I'd get a better grad...

Re: Book trailers: who makes them, $$$, and are they worth it
PS: Last thought and then I'll shut up. I love, love, LOVE, movie trailers. Why? Because I know I'm getting a glimpse of what I'm going to WATCH. But book trailers? My attention is lost because I know the images are someone else's and I'm never going to see them again, so I don't care. I'm not buyin...

Re: Book trailers: who makes them, $$$, and are they worth it
I checked out the link. It was a pretty video (better than Fallen's)--nice art and music--but I felt it dragged too much. I was waiting for the next word to appear and it seemed to take forever. However, you are right that the story is intriguing...but I could have just read the description--faster-...

Re: Book trailers: who makes them, $$$, and are they worth it
Book trailers bother me. Whether or not they are effective (or affective, I'm never quite sure) in the publishing world, they are, first of all, exceptionally cheesy. Second, like well-targeted covers, (speaking of which, have you seen the new printing of Wuthering Heights? It looks just like the Tw...

Re: Best Way to Pitch/Query for YA series
Thanks! Knew it was probably in the blog somewhere. Is there anything Nathan hasn't written about?

Best Way to Pitch/Query for YA series
Hopefully this isn't redundant. I hate to post something that might be hiding somewhere in this forum, but I couldn't find the answer, so here's the question: What is the best way to pitch or query for a YA series? Is it better to include information on all of the books or just the first? Thanks.
