Agent Insider News

I have some super exciting news to tell you! I think it will just make you smile, maybe even jump up and down with so much happiness you'll "SQUEE!"

For those who have asked for a mentor during the workshop and will be sending in you work for advices and comments, we are having an agent giveaway!! (no, I'm not giving an agent away)

That's right! We've got some help coming directly from our talented agents who will be offering their personal and direct advice, suggestions, and critiques.

YAY!!! Let me just say, I wish I were joining this workshop rather than hosting it!! hehe!

Who are the agents? I know you have been wondering. At least I hope you have! I am waiting on two more response emails before I can list the agents. PLEASE be patient. I promise the list is amazing. You'll be happy, I know!

But, I will go ahead and let you know what the GIVEAWAYS are going to be, so far. I hope more will come in, but if not, this is a great list of agent inside news. Ready?

The First Five Pages Critiqued By an AGENT
The First Three Chapters (of first 50 pages) Critiqued By an AGENT
A Phone Call BY an AGENT

Aren't you glad you signed up for the mentor workshop??

I'll give more details about the giveaways as the time draws closer for the giveaway, so don't miss a day of "classes" or you might miss the announcement!

Operation Agent Ink

UPDATE: PLEASE FILL OUT THIS QUESTIONNAIRE AFTER YOU SIGN UP. Have you ever wondered what agents were dying to find in their inbox/slush pile? There have been many times I entered a contest and not even received a comment, not even from one of the agents. Or maybe the agent was kind enough to leave a comment that simply said, "Sorry, this just isn't what I'm looking for, but I love the premise and your voice." I always walk away feeling unsatisfied. If I had known exactly what the agent wanted beyond, "YA" or "Fantasy" I might not have even entered a contest I knew I wouldn't win! Even more, I wasted a very busy agents time! Well, your time of guessing is up! OPERATION AGENT INK to the rescue! That's right! This workshop will help aspiring authors get on the list of an agent's WISH LIST! When the workshop is over, your manuscript will be ready to view by a group of AMAZING agents who are dying to see what you've wri...

Writer In Motion CP feedback

Hey beautiful guys and dolls! Here it is! My CP feedback edited story. Had a hard time with this, but I hope it makes sense. I've got a post I'm working on I plan to put up after Thanksgiving. Here ya go. Enjoy... Every morning I wake to carnival day.  Today, though, I have my key. If I don’t use it before midnight, my way of escape will gone. It’s a silver key with a twisted metal handle, a sapphire stone half moon and engraved stars. There’s a tiny inscription on the moon, but it’s so small, I’ve never been able to read it.I’ve always kept mine in my jewelry box, but today, I string it on a ribbon and tie it around my neck. My two best friends will be wearing theirs, too, and I wonder how they will escape this carnival of dreams. “What’s it for?” Cress asks as we stand in line for the swings. I run my fingertips over the entire silver surface. “I don’t know. It belonged to my grandmother,” I say. “Whatever.” She shrugs her shoulder in a dismissive way. “Have ...

Workshop 10

Today, let's get readers hooked from the very first sentence. If you do, you are off to a great start and hopefully a great first chapter. We are going to focus on the first and second sentence and how you can draw readers in while introducing two major items about your book: 1. Your MC 2. The main conflict. How? Is it really possible to do this in only TWO sentences? YES! Example: My name is Snow, like the white powder that falls during winter, though I don't know what my mom was thinking because it was ninety degrees the day I was born. I turned twelve the year I married a man I hated and thirteen when my first baby was born. This sentence tells us a lot. It shows us a little about Snow's personality, it hints toward a shortened childhood and could possibly point to a different time era. I also can definitely see the conflict. Can you? You only have a few minutes to make a good, first impression. Make sure you wow your reader enough they'll actually t...
