My column on The Business Side of Writing

Hi all, very sorry to disappear for several months there. I'll talk more about what kept me busy in a later post. All during this time, though, I've been a regular guest blogger on Dawning of a Brighter Day, the blog for the Association of Mormon Letters, and I really should be cross posting links.

This month I posted on how to find the right agent for you. Rather than the usual advice about how to query and how to find agents, I focused on where you should be, emotionally and professionally, when it's time to find an agent. I've found agent querying to be a pretty intensely weird process, and I don't envy agents at all, with some of the authors they have to deal with. Unfortunately, I don't think it's all that hard to stand out, but to see more on that, head to this month's post.

Meanwhile, hello again! I've missed talking to you all!

  2. *waves to Emily* I've been thinking about you a lot lately! Michael and I are releasing Open Minds in German tomorrow - something that wouldn't have happened without YOU! (we secretly talk about how you're awesome, in case your ears are burning!) *hugs*

  3. Emily, HI!!!! *waving!* Ah, yes, quite an interesting angle in querying an agent via emotional perspective. Nice! It is a whole different thing via that than the simple act!
