Let me add more: It would be wise to show your POV right out of the gate. If the reader has to wait till the second or third paragraph, then what you've given them in the first paragraph is prologue, backstory, or author intrusion.
Therefore, if ...
All this may be academic with the advent of ePublishing. I think the book business is going to tear itself apart in the next year and the Phoenix will be any publisher and agent that embraces electronic ink. Old duffers my age may have a nostalgic...
Opps! Did I forget to mentioned I'm not a published author - I have never written a query letter - so Rich has two up on me. Still opinions are like assholes - everyone's got one (I like crude euphemisms as well).
I think it was DeMille that said he liked a story that started with an earth shattering quake and then built up to a climax. I agree with Jasen - hit 'em hard.
My first thought would be - if Pauline Gedge has already written a series of novels on Egyptian life in the same vein as ISIS WEPT - why would an agent want to try and do the same thing without Pauline Gedge? No - I think the query letter is your ...
Hi Mari
I have an American passport and make no claim to being Greek - I dislike those who claim to be something/American - with the exception of the Native American. We stayed in New York City for a few months and then were sent to Cincinnati, O...

You know James - to my count there have been 9 or 10 contributions to My Hometown. If each of us expanded our piece to say 2000 words - I think there is the potential for a ripping short story in the form of an anthology. We could critic each othe...
I was born on a Greek freighter tied up to Ellis Island in New York Harbour. My father was in the Greek resistance and was wounded pretty bad by the Nazis. He arranged for my mother to immigrate to the New World. He died about three months before ...
No Asda I believe
Oh - make no mistake - the WalMart practices are systemic of the more general American evil of globalization. America imported this outrageous business theory to Europe and most countries just gobbled it up hook, line and sinker. With the notable ...
We don't have WalMart here in England. They have bought out a rather well know supermarket change recently. They wouldn't dare change the name to WalMart because they know how much the British hate most things American. So I think we are safe here...
This is from the Publisher Weekly blog. It also pointed out that the authors get between 30% and 40% royalties. if you take the the $4.99 for a standard romance fiction work the author would get between $1.50 and $2.00 per unit sold. I don't know ...
I sure hope POV means point of view or this will be meaningless. Eli's POV is expressed in the following paragraph when he tries to open his eyes. You can see the first chapter at the blog Eli's Revenge As mentioned in my last post on this group -...
