SPONSOR OF THE WEEK

TIMELESS LESSON 

From a long-time FFW reader:

Hi Hope,

I can't tell you how much I enjoy the FFW newsletter. But right now, I'm going to take you for a trip to the "Wayback" machine.

Every so often we writers run into that proverbial brick wall known as writer's block.  When that occurs with me, I look at an idea file I created many years ago, which has but a paragraph or two with a simple outline for short stories or memoirs which might interest me now. In another file about writing materials, I keep clips from other writers who have provided encouraging words to motivate me.

After reading the May 24th edition of FFW about lull time because of the heat, being away on vacations, etc., it reminded me of some words you provided, let's say a "few years ago," when I was receiving FFW Junior. I copied and pasted those words and have it in my writing thoughts file. It was titled "Are you a Writer or a Piddler?"

I've kept that piece as a motivator and, from time to time, have re-read it.  You told writers to write even a few words instead of playing computer games or wasting time. You constantly write about keeping the writer inside us from becoming slackers.  I want to tell you that your words, though written many years ago, are just as meaningful today as they were yesterday and will be tomorrow.

Best to you,

Al Caron
-----------

Hope - here is the piece titled "Are you a Writer or a Piddler?" 

Since I finished my novel and now enter the painful stage of editors and agents, I find it hard to get back into the groove. Is piddling writer's block you ask? No, I don't really believe in writer's block.  I call it writer's procrastination. Some days are harder than others to make the words flow, but you can write every day, almost anyway.

So when you are refreshing your email every ten minutes or checking out the stock market or playing Hearts and Solitaire on the computer instead of writing, stop it.  Write a few words or sketch an outline. Do a writing exercise. For goodness sake, just describe the desk at which you sit and get the words down. Anything you do needs a ritual - housecleaning, getting to work, mowing the yard...yes, and writing. To quote an ad that is pretty cliché now...JUST DO IT!

C. Hope Clark, FFW Junior, March 18, 2001

7 Nudges to Work Into Your Query Letters

By Dan Brotzel

Nudges are psychological levers that can be used to help influence and persuade people because they work with the way our minds are wired. Here are some common nudges you can work into your query letters and project submissions... 

Nudge Theory is a branch of economics designed to help us all make better decisions by appealing to the way our minds are wired. Instead of expecting people to make rational, considered decisions about everything, or trying to boss people into doing what's good for them, nudges appeal to the mental shortcuts we all make when faced with choices.    

Nudges are widely used in social policy and the corporate world now, to help people make better choices in everything from pensions to well-being. Richard Thaler, one of the developers of nudge theory, won the Nobel Prize for Economics last year. 

For example, we tend to take the path of least resistance when it comes to decision-making and will, as a rule, opt for the default option. For this reason, it's suggested that state pension schemes and organ donation policies should be opt-out rather than opt-in. 

Marketers have long used many a wide range of nudges and are finding new ways to nudge people towards sales all the time. Fear of missing out (FOMO), social proof, upselling and product placement are all examples of marketing nudges in action. Here are some nudges that you can work into your query letters when trying to sell your work to editors, agents, and publishers... 

Authority. We have a natural tendency to defer to people who position themselves as experts. If you have written a book about a particular country or historical period, the amount of research or subject-matter knowledge or traveling that you can bring to bear will add authority to your submission. Mentioning other titles that you have published, or writers who have recommended you, or competitions you have placed are all badges of authority too. 

Ease. The easier something looks to read, the more likely it will get read. Your recipient is a busy person, so get to the point in clear, direct sentences, and don't bombard them with unnecessary information. Set out your letter in a scannable, user-friendly style, with short paragraphs and bullets and bold to highlight key points. Less is more! 

Social proof. We have a natural tendency to follow the herd, which is why businesses love testimonials and case studies. Any evidence you have of the popularity of your work is worth mentioning here – perhaps you have a story that is very popular with your writers' group, or you had successfully published pieces on a similar topic before, or achieved rankings in an Amazon category, or have grown a strong social media following. Mention anything that shows you have the makings of a tribe, and you will be that bit harder to ignore. 

Reciprocity. Giving to get is another powerful lever. In exchange for having your work considered, you might offer a free report or access to other useful material you have published. Or you could offer to provide some sample work for free. The content agency I work for often does this – it's a move that shows confidence and gives a prospect something for nothing, while also giving us an opportunity to showcase what we can do. 

Affinity. It's hard to say no to people we like. An engaging letter that's respectful of your recipient's time, with courtesy, a touch of humor and some personality can often go a long way to getting that first foot in the door. 

Objection-handling. A subtle but often very effective nudge is to call out some of the objections that people might have to your idea and explaining why they're wrong. Idea been done before? Yes, but not from this angle. Not a normal way to approach the theme? Well, no, but then again it worked for book x or film y. This kind of thinking inspires confidence because it shows that you have thought hard about the market context. 

Priming/topicality. Look for topics related to your work that are in the news. Making connections with what's happening currently will add a sense of urgency and relevance to your work. If your work has some thematic similarities with other works coming out around the same time, make the most of that too: editors sometimes like the reassurance/excitement of feeling that they are part of a burgeoning trend...   

Final thought: Don't overdo it and stay yourself

Nudges are an interesting and often a very effective way to pitch work more impactfully. But as with any persuasive technique, if the effect feels too forced or too overdone, it can easily backfire. No one wants to feel manipulated, after all. It's probably best to focus on one or two areas that work best for you and your work.

APOKEDAK LITERARY 
http://sally-apokedak.com/submission-guidelines-2/what-im-looking-for/
Children's picture books, middle-grade books, YA books. Not a huge fan of issue books, preachy stories, gay lit, or sexual content. Supernatural books, with angels, demons, or any mix thereof, will probably not catch my fancy. I’m not salivating for werewolves, vampires, ghosts, fairies, or zombies. (Orcs, hobbits, and dragons are what I love.) I’m not into dark and angsty books, and I really like endings that, if not completely happy, are at least full of hope. For young boys, I’m OK with some scatological humor, but I like characters older than ten to be a little more mature and a little less enamored with their own bodily functions than the real-life boys they are patterned after.
