Yesterday I began the serious hunt for an agent. I'm thinking of going for one that takes electronic submissions. I've been sweating over my synopsis (which is a 4-letter word in my opinion) but I've found that most of these agents only want a 1 page query to begin with. Okay, so I'm going to have to squish 105K words into one page. Need to brush up on my blurb writing.
Of course I wouldn't be off the hook for that synopsis. If they're interested I'd still have to write one.
This is pretty big! But I've been slacking in the publishing area. I'm ready for something new to come out.
No word from Harlequin yet. Still have another month. Maybe this is a good thing. ???
Well, the beautiful glow of autumn is nearly gone. It was so short lived. We're into the frost season now. Scraping off the windows each morning. Just one day closer to that first snowfall, which I actually like. The first few are wonderful. By New Years Day I'm ready for green grass and seventy degrees. As soon as I make my millions I'm definitely buying a winter home far from here.Labels: agents, fall and winter, synopsis writing |
Actually, for a query -- you're going to have to squish 105k words into one or two paragraphs...
Aren't you glad to have me around to make things worse? *G*
And, yeah, with HQ I'm thinking longer is better. ::fingers crossed::
