Send Me Birthday Questions
Since I am on the road, I thought I would let you all send me questions today to answer in the coming weeks.
Post those thoughts here and I will see what I can do.
Haven't had any questions lately, but if I come up with any you'll be the first to know. Just wanted to wish you Happy Birthday!! Happy St. Patty's. Have fun on the road, and may the wind always be at your back.
Just want to say thanks for the workshop on Saturday (Rose City Writers)I learned more about publishing in a few hours than in years of reading books on the subject. Or maybe I just believed it coming straight from a professional who isn't afraid to tell it like it is. I'm changing my unmarketable mainstream novel into a single title contemporary. Thanks Scott and happy birthday.
Happy birthday, Scott. So, here goes my question. I'm done querying for my book and have received a lot of requests. I have fulls out from Jan. to March. Since I began this process, my ms has taken an overhaul due to the constructive crit I received from agents. My problem is this. Do I approach the agents who have my old ms from 2-3 months ago and haven't got back to me yet? Or do I wait until they send me an R to resubmit. I know some agents like yourself are very approachable, but there are some that scares me.... What's your take on it? Thanks!
Happy Happy! And thanks for your advice at RCRW on Saturday. My sassy domestic drama has been returned to single title status instead of being chopped into two.
No questions at the moment as your workshop answered many I didn't even know I had. :) Have an awesome trip.
Happy Birthday! And I do have a question. I understand that your policy is to not revisit a rejection. However, what if that novel had been completely reworked- to the point that it is 110% different? Thanks Scott.
Happy Birthday Scott! Wish you peace, light and happiness. My Question to you - I have gone through your interviews and site. You define women's fiction as something which should depict a female journey and remain focused on a single issue. But how can one describe a river without mentioning the gorge, the valley or the boulders it passes across... or the clouds and the streams which feed it... on its journey to the ocean..
Hi Scott, just got a rejection from an agent who said, among other things, that novels about World War II are not popular right now. Any thoughts?? Thanks.

ReplyDeleteA bit confused. Thanks.
