Thank you!
I think yo...This is such a great guide. Thank you!<br /><br />I think you should write a book for writers. You have a deep understanding of the writer's struggle (since you are one) and you also know how that relates to selling work in today's marketplace. It's like a puzzle that you put together for us blog readers and we say, "Ohhhhh. I get that now."<br /><br />I'll be running my ideas through this as a litmus test until I find a maybe-good-enough one. Thank you so much!<br /><br />:):)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14871904138157143589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965176195649202077.post-28518006565060597382014-08-03T08:32:23.894-07:002014-08-03T08:32:23.894-07:00This is an awesome list!

I keep picking the one that gets a lot of positive attention from my writer peeps, but the word count is too high. I think I'm picking the wrong one. I've got to work on another one that follows the rules before I can submit something that breaks them!

In some of the writer's groups I belong to, we get newbie writers bringing picture book manuscripts--either because they think they're easy to write, or because they told the story to their grandkids (who loved it). I try to gently explain that they're not easy [but keep working because it's worth it] and your grandchild liking it doesn't guarantee universal appeal. Now I have somewhere with a comprehensive list to direct them!Angelica R. Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09448717076699744259noreply@blogger.com
