Boy Meets Girl — Ridiculousness Ensues

Publishing Blogs Weekly Round-Up June 27, 2008

This week on Richard Curtis’s blog, Publishing in the 21st Century, he discusses ‘Outlines’ — what are they, why are they, why to use them, and how to make the most of them. A definite must read.

 

Kristen Nelson discusses playing matchmaker for an author and a different agent — Gives us all a little more hope.

 

At Dystel & Goderich, there’s a great post called:  Michael Bourret asks, “What’s in an advance?”  It’s clear, it’s helpful and it’s straightforward. I’m forwarding it to my best friend who is convinced I’ll be a millionaire when someone finally loves the book as much as he does.

 

This blog post was written just for me, Ms. Faust doesn’t necessarily KNOW that, but it definitely is. I sent a snail mail to one of my top agents and never heard. So I sent a politely worded (I thought) follow-up email. Still haven’t heard. It was kind of Ms. Faust to talk me out of that tree with her blog “Submission Freak-Outs.”

 

Joanna Bourne talks Show and Tell. A great blog about something I think almost everyone can get a little better at.
