Nathan Bransford - The Forums

I know you're asking Nathan this, but I just thought you'd like to know that I've been rejected 117 times, and that it's good to never give up-- improving could never hurt as there is always room for it. I keep all my rejections in a special little folder so that I can look at them when I'm publishe...

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!!! That was awesome! Your query is like McDonalds because I'm loven it!!!!

Jade’s father used to help her control her wind-taming powers, but when he’s murdered right in front of her by humans who can’t master the elements, Jade looses grip and creates a monstrous hurricane. (Although I think you have a great premiss and story going here, I do believe the intro has excess ...

I know as soon as I ask this question, I'm going to have a sudden urge to slap myself in the forehead (should have had a V8). We all know that attachments are scarcely accepted in the query community. When an agent asks for the first three sample pages of the manuscript-- as you have-- included with...

Everyone has been very helpful on this site-- I apologize for responding so late. However, I'd like for all of you to know that I'm very greatful and I've had some time to take off and mature as a writer. I'm looking over my old Query *cringe*. It's relgiously inaccurate and basically 50,000 words f...

Spamalot indeed

You have an amazing southern charm about you! If there was a little bit of your lovable personality into the query, I'm sure your personality would sell more than the novel. It is very hard in fiction fantasy to come up with a unique idea, so even though this sounds simple, I'm sure your charm will ...

I'm taking all your comments into consideration. And, no, I don't hate them! hahahha. That's why I'm here, to hear things likes this. I meant for Wallace to be a very disturbed individual, because he is. thank you so much for saying my writing is grotesque (not sarcasm). If you didn't care, you woul...

On the day of Wallace McHardy’s release from rehab from a drug overdose, he meets Sailor Crownan who offers to share a night of foolhardy festivities. Sailor has just sprung from a Mormon compound and invites him out of the Rumspringa spirit. She is also intrigued by the bandana he wears to covers h...

That is what I was trying to relate to Alice and Wonderland. Sorry about the confusion. You guys are both right. I'm really new at the whole writing query thing and I really appreciate your comments.
