Query Letters out by Dec. 4th.

 Most agents I'm looking at want ten pages or the first chapter to accompany the query letter.  I should have the first chapter Beta edits completed by Dec. 3rd and my query letters out the next day.  The rest of the updates will be completed by Dec. 10th.  It's been a month since I submitted to Query Shark and haven't heard anything yet -- might not, but another month will tell.  Stay tuned!

Still making final changes . . . but

The members of our writers group did a Beta read for me and have returned their critiques.  They did a great job and I'm looking forward to doing the same for them when they are ready.   Thank you Tuesday Night Writers Group.

Query Shark Received my Submission

I knew my last submission to Query Shark on 10/25 met her requirements and was surprised that I had not received a response from her after her blog said she had responded to all submission as of 11/04.   That's when I thought to check my spam file.  Sure enough, it was there.  So now we wait and see what, if anything, comes next.

Ready to Deliver Beta Copies

Tomorrow night (Nov 9) will be the first deliveries of the Beta version of Dragoolend.  I still find things to fix, adjust or change every time I go through it but it is very readable and I need the help of others to spot things my eyes don't see.  I'm sure that while the Beta version is being read, I will continue my edits.  Hopefully,  I can call it done in two weeks (Nov 22).

Welcome Tuesday Night Writers

A warm welcome to theTuesday night writers group.  What a wonderful group of writers we have.   Always a special thanks for the leadership that Ami Hendrickson gives us. (see museinks to the right)

Query Shark has now responded to all submissions as of 10-12-10

She is running about three weeks behind so I won't get a notice of her receiving my submission for at least two more weeks, maybe three.  If the query letter is good enough to be posted, that could be three to five months away.
