One of my favorite literary agent blogs is Pub Rants by Kristin Nelson. She shares her publishing-insider perspective along with loads of useful advice for aspiring writers. She has been blogging regularly since January 2006 and her archives are filled with helpful and interesting posts.Among the many topics she has covered, here are some of my favorites:
- Writing a query pitch like back cover copy (also see Agent Kristin’s Blog Pitch Workshop on her sidebar)
- Actual queries that worked (also see Agent Kristin’s Queries: An Inside Scoop and Submission Pitch Letters to Editors on her sidebar)
- Beginning writer mistakes
- Stories behind the covers
- Choosing the right title
For added fun, Kristin shows her eclectic taste in music by saying what's playing on her iPod at the beginning of every post.
Good links. Thanks! :)
