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!

GUTGAA Meet and Greet!

Hey everyone! I'm taking a quick break from vacation to introduce myself and say hi! I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone and meeting some new friends! -Where do you write? I live in a camper. My writing spot? Usually in bed. But sometimes I get a chance to write in the "living room" but that's rare. When I am at home (yay!) I have my own little office:) I love m space there and I can write during the day light hours. Oh, who am I kidding! That's rare. -Quick. Go to your writing space, sit down and look to your left. What is the first thing you see? My husband. Yeah, he sleeps with me! -Favorite time to write? At night. When it's quite. Aaahhh. Sweet quite. -Drink of choice while writing? Depends on the time of day I get to write. In the morning, coffee, coffee and more coffee. (with Creme Brulee creamer!) Afternoon it's iced coffee. After school, it's Dr. Pepper. Night it's water. -When writin...

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 Round two

Hey beautiful guys and dolls!! Welcome to my first post during WRITER IN MOTION round two. I was lucky enough to be chosen in the raffle to have my short, 1,000 word or less flash fiction chosen to be edited by a professional editor! So, follow along  my journey as I go from prompt to polished draft in for weeks. Out first post is prepping for the first draft. Given the prompt, what were my first thoughts and what did I do to prep the character, story, and plot?? HEre's the photo prompt: Honestly, it didn't speak me. At all. I was lost, and my excitement quickly deflated like a helium balloon stuffed in the back of a dark closet. Not because I didn't like the photo. I LOVED it. But because I was completely lost in ideas. So, I put the put the picture away, and ignored it. Well, that's not true. The photo haunted me for hours. Who was this girl? Why was she here? What had happened up to this point in time? That's when it hit me. Tell the story before...
