10 AGENT TIPS TO WRITING A GREAT QUERY
Posted on March 14, 2010 at 2:00pm 4 Comments 0 Likes
My agent, Gina Pannetieri wrote up this list for my Query Kick-Around group, but I thought the advice was well worth sharing to all of YAlitchat. (I apologize about the wonky spacing, for some reason it doesn't want to play nicely *sigh*)
TEN TIPS TO WRITiNG A GREAT QUERY
TEN TIPS TO WRITiNG A GREAT QUERY
1. Get right into the story. Agents and editors often make a decision as to whether to keep reading a query within the first few lines. This isn't because they don't want to give every writer every…

Well, that new WIP that cropped up around Christmas hasn't gone away. It took on a life of it's own. The MC nearly sprang from my head all Athena-like, fully formed and ready for battle. I struggled with aspects that kept wanting in, then relented and let them in. I researched my butt off and found the aspects I'd tried to deny actually deepen the story, heighten the tension and in essence make it uber cool. I outlined it with… Continue
Last damn thing I need...

Ever had just way too damned much on your plate? The Holidays, the kids, the spouse, the bills, the half-dozen WIPs staring at you every time you open your document file... Pretty much my life right now. Except I should be sewing my fingers to the bone--believe me I will bleed at least once this month from a sewing needle. The last damn thing I need right now is ANOTHER story announcing itself, taking over the taxed brain matter. Well, it's happened...

Linda M. Ransom said… - This is a very cool website - thanks for suggesting it :-) And nah, I won't make you confess to all the WIPs...I'm trying to concentrate on just this one for now. I plan to have it be a trilogy at the very least, so I am working on the second book some too. Keeps me busy :-)

- Speaking of interview...I was just talking to another published author. I want to mix up my interviews a bit (a few with agents, a few with authors, etc).
Would you be able to do an interview for my blog some time? I've been meaning to ask you for a while. If you wanna check it out before making a decision, I have some past interviews up there (including a current one with a literary agent -- James Fitzgerald; his answers were freaking hilarious, especially the one about the cabbie he signed). www.kayemevans.com/blog
Let me know if you can...if not, no worries, but I had to ask! :-)
