I just posted some advice on querying as well, that might make the prospect less dreary to those who don't care for it.<br /><br />My query...says my book is snarky, action-packed, and all the characters start off at some degree of evil. I think.

Very good post and probably a real eye-opener for many.<br />I hate 'little did they know', by the way.Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13356640334979836289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454222325290313520.post-61596309975660702302013-01-21T15:03:37.206-05:002013-01-21T15:03:37.206-05:00Great insight and advice.

Though that's usually clear when they look at the first page. <br /><br />Natalie, I didn't for the longest time, but I eventually found an appreciation for them. :) They can be very helpful diagnostic tools. <br /><br />Hera, the "a" is definitely a typo, (thanks for catching that, I'll see if they can fix it) but the "back" could go either way. There's no rule there. <br /><br />Andrea, they're really useful for more than just getting someone to pick up your book. I use them all the time to help plan my novels.

It's not Standard Operating Procedure to let on if a book is written in 1st person, or limited third.
