Literary Agent Sound Off: Query Letter Basics

http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/guide-to-literary-agents/literary-agent-sound-off-query-letter-basics?et_mid=728005&rid=248939721

Research Before You Send a Query Letter

http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/guide-to-literary-agents/research-before-you-send-a-query-letter?et_mid=728005&rid=248939721
Let me first begin by saying I love working as a literary agent. Since opening Greyhaus Literary Agency in 2003, I have had the chance to work with a lot of great writers, agents and publishers. Let’s face it – there are very few jobs out there where we get to do something many consider simply a hobby. However, with all of the great things about the job, the one thing I hate the most (and I know many other agents and editors feel the same way) is the part about writing rejection letters to authors. This is simply not a fun activity.

As a baby boomer myself, it’s hard not to think about aging when you look in the mirror and see more wrinkles or find yourself experiencing body aches and pains more often.

Newsletters are a lot like a big cannon. A newsletter can provide lots of firepower and has a far-reaching effect that can spread out over a broad area.

Love from the Great Beyond by Ida Lawrence

http://www.evolutionezine.net/love-great-beyond-ida-lawrence/
So why do we say that our loved ones aren’t really gone? It is because we know we are more than physical: we know because we are the observer of ourselves. There is a stepping back place called consciousness, where we see ourselves doing things, thinking and feeling, and we know our body is the container. The more we uncover, the more we know it.
