READY, AIM, SPECIALIZE

I do not perform many book reviews; however, here's a release
I have to recommend. Ready, Aim, Specialize is written by
well-known freelancer and author Kelly James-Enger. Marion
Street Press published this second edition recently, and
I wonder how the heck I missed the first one!

Okay, so I'm reviewing this book, prepared to jot down notes
for my comments. I'm skimming, right? I have so many publications
and resources to read, so I read fast. I look up half an hour
later, and I'm still in Section One. I'm a specialty advocate,
but this book takes the practice down to the nitty-gritty
explaining in remarkable terms why we need to specialize.
I'm nodding my head, the common sense so clear I wondered
why I hadn't thought of the reasons before.

Why specialize in your freelancing? How about increase sales,
develop that elusive platform every agent and publisher wants
you to have, raise your pay per word and save time? The saving
time caught my eye. Time constantly eludes me, and each night
I drop in the bed with assignments, proposals and queries
dancing in my cranium.

I can research for one article, save the information, and
spin three more articles off the same material. Additionally,
I meet people in the first article who I can use as topic
experts for future work. And because I write in a particular
subject, my clips demonstrate I'm an expert, because the topics
are related. An editor can't help but see I know my stuff.
That in turn commands more money.

But let me tell you about the one word of advice I had to
write down...the 24-hour rule. Most FundsforWriters readers
know about my Keep 13 in Play rule where I keep thirteen
queries outstanding at all times. I'm currently spinning off
four tonight, because I've had some acceptances. Kelly James-
Enger does something similar but so much smarter!

When she receives a rejection, she has twenty-hour hours to
send out two queries. One goes to the editor of a different
publication with the rejected idea. Makes sense. But the
other query goes to the editor who rejected her, suggesting
a new topic. That one stopped me. Get this...an immediate
turn around with your query to the rejecting editor keeps your
name fresh in his mind. You even remind him that he just
rejected you, but you have this great new idea you want to
run by him. You are building a relationship with that
editor before he ever publishes you.

Add to this the tons of sample query letters, connections
for certain specialties like fitness, health, business and
parenting, and you have a writing book worth harboring on
your shelf. I'm writing in mine, because it's a keeper.

NOTE:
Strange, but there is a March Writing Blog Madness going on
at the Writer's Resource Center -
http://www.poewar.com/category/march-writing-blog-madness/

Somehow, my blog is a contender. They have seeds like a
basketball tournament. The sites are reviewed, given points,
and dropped or advanced. Not sure if I'm looking forward to
being reviewed. Heck, I'm not sure what makes for a good blog
except for providing current and useful information. At
least get a taste of 30+ writing blogs for your reference
links.

Begin at the Beginning:
Choosing the Right Sample Chapters for Agent Submissions

By Ally E. Peltier

A client recently told me that she'd been advised never to
include a Prologue as part of her submission to prospective
literary agents. I worked as an acquiring editor for years
and know many agents, but I have never heard this rule. It's
common for new, inexperienced writers to feel nervous about
readers not "getting" their set-up, so they create Prologues
that explain far more than necessary. They end up over-telling
the story before it's even begun!

While you certainly don't want to send a sample with a weak
opening to a prospective agent, unless the submission
guidelines specify otherwise you should send the first three
sequential chapters or fifty pages. It doesn't matter if this
amounts to a Prologue and two chapters or three regular
chapters--what's important is to send the opening of your
novel. I counseled a novelist recently who wanted to send his
first chapter, one from the middle, and one from the end. He
felt that the story didn't gel until midway through, and
feared that the first three chapters wouldn't impress readers
enough. I strongly encouraged him to abandon this plan, and
the reason why is also the explanation for why sending the
Prologue (if you have one) is not only important, but also
critical.

Most potential readers browse books this way: the cover or
title catches the eye, the back cover/jacket copy is intriguing,
and then the first couple of skimmed pages seem to deliver on
the promise of the marketing lures. Book reviewers and media
personnel (like the folk who decide which writers will appear
as guests on their bosses' TV shows) similarly will give a book
anywhere from just the first paragraph to the whole first
chapter a chance to grab them. Editors know this, and literary
agents know that editors know this. It's the primary reason why
novel openings are so carefully scrutinized. Agents ask to see
the first few chapters because they know that if these chapters
don't grab them, then the novel won't grab editors, reviewers,
or readers, either.

If you're hesitant to send the first three chapters of your
novel, try to stave off the impatience that accompanies the
submission process and spend more time working on your opening
rather than choose a haphazard selection of chapters to send.
And don't worry if your incredibly original climax is not
immediately clear from the way you begin: since most agents
expect to see a synopsis as well as sample chapters (even if
they don't ask for it, providing one will give you a much-
needed edge), they'll still know all about that twist at the
end. Plus, a synopsis will give them some context and may help
push an agent on the fence over to a willingness to read more.

Though the "rules" of publishing--particularly of the submission
process--may seem arbitrary, there are usually good reasons
behind them. So remember, if you want to interest literary
agents in representing your novel, you don't need to show them
the best outtakes. But you do need to hook them and reel 'em
in quick. Your opening must be interesting and compelling
enough to make the agent want to keep reading. It should
introduce your protagonists and show the agent that you have
a good handle on natural-sounding dialogue, well developed
settings, and the appropriate pace or tone for your genre. If
your sample chapters don't accomplish these goals, no one will
bother asking for more material, no matter how great the
promise of that plot twist.
