I recently attended an event where agents talked about what makes them stop reading a manuscript. To find out the 7 tips I gleaned from that session, see my guest post on the Guide to Literary Agents Blog.
Also, my manuscript was critiqued at that same session. I wrote about agent feedback on my particular excerpt here.
Congrats on surviving Editor Idol! I had my piece read a couple of years ago @ Muse and the Marketplace (Grub) and was relieved to see those hands stay down.
ReplyDeleteSuper blog. Found you via Chuck S. Super. I dig neuroscience and writing, and my own blog features mental health/substance use and writing (though heavily writing oriented of late). And congrats on juggling grad school and writing -- may your right and left sides continue to serve you well.
Peace, Linda
I retweeted it :)
