Rejections From a Literary Agent

Angebote / Angebote:

Satirical humor books have built success on very serious topics - FURIOUSLY HAPPY by Jenny Lawson (mental illness), SHI*T MY DAD SAYS by Justin Halpern (awkward relations) and CALYPSO by David Sedaris (alcoholism, suicide) - but no one has yet written anything funny about the arduous process of trying to snag a literary agent. REJECTIONS FROM A LITERARY AGENT : DISCOURAGING WRITERS, ONE BAD QUERY AT A TIME includes the fictional Ribbons Literary Agency website, twenty-three invented query letters, sample pages from hopeful authors and blunt responses from senior agent Marcie Ribbons. Responding to queries for multiple genres and occasional bad querying etiquette, Ms. Ribbons shares her editorial wisdom with the impatience of a Judge Judy. Wounded aspirants sometimes write back after rejection and a story arc plays out.
