After having been rejected early this summer, I went
to work on using the constructive criticism to help make my writing better.
This is the first test to see how I did.
I also took a
logline, pitch, and query class on-line too. It was a great class. A query
letter is basically the cover letter to send out to agents and editors. I found
lots of templates on line to follow, but I didn’t know which one to really go
with. So, the class was extremely helpful. I had no problem writing the query,
but it was lacking. It was too bare bones. I wrote it like a business letter or
a history essay question. I wrote clear concise answers on what my book was
about. But, I forgot a key element. This isn’t a history essay…no one likes to
read history essays! I needed to answer
the questions about my book, but add in my writing style and make it sound
exciting so that someone wants to read my book. So, after my class with the help
from a published and successful author, I think I got that part down now. At least it landed me a request from an
editor.
I have
learned that writing a book is actually the easy part! I know I can do that, I
have twice already. My next move is to finish edits on both my books and to
send them out to a bunch of agents.
Keep your fingers crossed for me! I will let you know
good or bad the fate for SEA OF PASSION!
