Publishing Pulse: 11/12/2010

Open Mic Monday Update

Thank you again to everyone who participated in our Open Mic Monday last week!  We have gathered all the questions (there were a lot of them, and they were all great!) and divvied them up, and Jane posted the first one (with answer!) on Wednesday. We had originally expected to answer them all over the next month or so, but we got more than we anticipated, so we'll be answering questions for the next couple of months at least.  Keep an eye out for your answer!

Around the Internet

Jane Friedman's Ultimate Blog Series on Novel Queries is great for people new to writing queries, as well as for people (like me) who just always struggle, no matter how many times they write queries.

Rachelle Gardner explains the sorts of things agents regularly negotiate in Publishing Contracts.

Adventures in Children's Publishing explains how to Deepen Your Novel with Imagery, Symbolism, and Figurative Language.

Over on Jungle Red Writers, Alicia Rasley guest-blogs on the Top Ten Plotting Problems.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
