Sometimes it’s very exciting. Such as, when you receive a request for a full manuscript. It’s kind of like meeting a potential love and hoping that it might become a lifelong thing. I was thinking today, I post a lot about this topic–but I have a good reason. Most people, outside of the publishing world, […]

Being at my parents’ house has always come with the added bonus of finding one of my old Sweet Valley High books somewhere (if I wanted to brave the basement I would probably go down there and unearth the whole collection) and getting to read it for probably the twentieth time. Yes, I am 32 […]

I’m trying to keep my posts updated but my job has sucked the life from me. I don’t even have it in me to tantalize you with an excerpt from my future bestseller, “Me & Vlad and My Size 16’s–How I Found True Love With a Bloodsucking Babe.” Stay tuned.

Too stressed out to sleep, up at 4:30 a.m., now 5:36 a.m, still dark outside.

To be honest the search is very discouraging as any writer, published or not, will admit. A very nice rejection can be almost more disappointing than even the most impersonal form notecard. When they tell you why they didn’t want to keep reading, it’s all you can do not to rip your hair out in […]

Someone once told me (and I can’t remember who) that once you’ve had a book published, it’s easy to get another book published. What I’m actually finding out is that person actually meant, once you’ve had a bestseller published, it’s easy to get another book published.
Having had a book published actually means you get a personalized […]

Last time I sent out queries for SP (I’m dying to reveal the title but it’s so luscious I just can’t have it getting out until it’s been signed) the prospective agents couldn’t send their rejections fast enough. I would mail a letter to New York City on a Tuesday and get my SASE back by […]
