If you write and want to be published, rejection is probably in your future.

How I deal with it, learn from it and try to get better so there is less of it.

Next Victim Please

Now that I have a submission for Sunk out in the wind (probably to be blown back, but I won't get ahead of myself), I decided to go back to the AAR site and try to find a suitable victim to submit Such Beautiful Deadly Things.

This manuscript has more elements of a cozy mystery. The agency I found has a client list that seems to have a healthy representation of both traditional mystery and romance novels. And so the next submission will be off to the Richard Henshaw Group.

For this submission they want the the first 50-pages and a synopsis. A synopsis is a fresh kind of hell and one I will face tomorrow.

For tips on synopsis writing - which you will almost certainly need at some point for a submission - Nathan Bransford has some great info. He is an author and an agent so he has great insight from both sides of the desk. A link to his very helpful blog is to the right.
