The Write Stuff
This blog is about writing. Not reporting or journalism, but creative writing -- poetry, short stories, novels. And not just about the finished product but how we, as writers go about the process, and the trials, tribulations, blood, sweat and tears that go along with it. I'll also talk about another process -- publishing. Finding the right literary agent or publisher, self-publishing, e-publishing, what are the options and what are the chances of breaking into print? That's about it. I am by no means a best selling novelist or have all the answers, but consider this the beginning of a dialogue among a group of people who put pen to paper (okay, finger to keyboard) to release something inside us, something that must be shared.

Continuing the agent search
It's an interesting process really, trying to match your project with what an agent says they are looking to represent. I poured over hundreds of more listings Sunday and saved several to go back and query. I did send out one more electronic query to an agent that has on her wish list "narrative non-fiction in any subject area, as long as there is a compelling story with complex individuals and a clear narrative arc." She also lists true crime as a subject area she's actively seeking. I am confident the story I am telling is compelling and the characters complex, so if it has a "clear narrative arc" maybe she'll like it! The wait begins...again. Keep writing! 0 comments from 0 users
