Saturday Writers’ Roundup

Jan 31, 2009

Since I’m always looking for new writerly blogs to follow, I assume you are too.  I’m like that.

Here are a few blog articles I’ve enjoyed this week:

The Personal Slush Pile - All authors have one… unpublished and unpublishable works they’ve written over the years.  But what can you glean from them?

The Elevator Pitch – Tips on how to verbally pitch your new project for those face-to-face encounters with agents and editors.

Personal Tastes - Literary Agent Jessica Faust talks about how much her personal taste affects agents’ decisionmaking.

Talking Agent Trash - Literary Agent Chip MacGuire talks straight about legit agents and what’s not-so-legit.

How To Be  A Key Online Influencer - Fits in with my post earlier this week about the aborted “When Not To Blog” article.  A reminder of why everything you say should be considered carefully…. especially when words are your livelihood!
