“10. Please don’t send me an erotic romance that you tell me is based on your life…and then top it off by telling me that your daughter proofread it for you. ”

So disturbing.

PLEASE tell me that someone did not send you a manuscript for an erotic romance and said that their daughter proofread it. Please.

It saddens me that advice like this needs to be given at all, considering any good book (hell, even mediocre books) on getting published ALL say similar stuff: do your homework, spell check, make sure the person you’re targeting is the right individual, and CHECK PUBLISHER’S GUIDELINES. It’s bad enough when you make a goof even when you know a publisher’s preferences (I once sent a submission to a magazine to whom I’d subscribed for years and completely missed the fact that all their articles were first person and mine was a clean, professional, impersonal third – oops). When you don’t even bother to do basic research, is it any wonder that a rejection is forthcoming? Oi.

Every BDSM club for 200 miles, huh? That’s a lot of miles. o.O… I wish I could come up with a nice, pithy pun, but I can’t. Just… oi.

Hi Tera!
Now I can put a face with the name! It was great working with you. I think Creative License is a winner… of course I might be prejudice. ; )

By the way, I think you’re a very cool nerd…. a book on grammar in your purse means you’re always prepared… like a girl scout. ; )

Comment on Something New – Tuesday Tutorial by A. Catherine Noon

1. What “wow’s” you about a pitch?
2. What do you look for in a pitch when you don’t have the opportunity to meet the author at a conference?
3. What are some of the most common (and probably annoying) things that writers do that, if you could, you’d whack ‘em all with a clue stick to get ‘em not to do?
4. What is different about reading books on an e-reader vs. in paper (for example, the chapter endings in a book had a lot of suspense, relative to an e-reader, because you had to turn the page). What, if anything, do authors need to do differently to keep their readers reading when writing in that format?
5. What are some things the writer who wants to be a full-time author needs to know about how to approach their writing? Does frequency of output matter? Series? Subject?
6. What are some strategies for promotion that you like to see authors do on their own? Conversely, are there things that authors do that you wish they wouldn’t, that might adversely affect their sales?
7. What’s your favorite ice cream flavor? And should milk chocolate be allowed to be sold?
