Learn what catches the eye of an agent or editor - whether it's fiction or nonfiction - and how to make your project stand out from the crowd.


Description

Why do some projects get picked out of the pile by agents and editors while most do not? It's because great books that catch the eyes of the pros are a combination of an excellent idea, excellent writing, and, in some cases, an excellent platform.

In this webinar, we discuss, in detail, the three-tiered approach that all publishers look at in evaluating potential books: the idea, the writing, and the platform. Writers will learn exactly what these terms mean, and the relative importance of each tier for different types of books. We discuss ways to evaluate your own project based on this structure, and how to improve whatever areas need help.

What you'll learn:
  • How to capture your book in a compelling hook that will draw the attention of agents and editors.
  • How to determine if your rejections are less about your project and more about the marketplace.
  • What is meant by the "competitive advantage" and how to know if you have it.
  • How to make your writing shine,taking an idea and fleshing it out with voice, narrative, point-of-view, and structure.
  • How to develop an attractive writer platform,connecting with other writers and individuals while making yourself a visible authority on a subject.
  • How agents and editors quickly look over a project and decide if it has the necessary elements to make them request more.
  • How to get your book published!


Speaker
Rachelle Gardner is an agent with WordServe Literary Group, representing both fiction and nonfiction. She has been in the publishing business for fifteen years, with experience in marketing, sales, international rights, acquisitions and editorial. Rachelle is looking to represent authors with long-term publishing potential. She's looking at all genres of adult fiction except fantasy, sci-fi, and erotica, and prefers stories with strong characters and page-turning plots. Currently her favorite genres are contemporary women's fiction, historical romance, and romantic suspense. In non-fiction, she's looking for authors with strong messages (for either a Christian audience or the general market) and significant marketing platforms.

Who should attend?
  • Fiction writers who are writing a book or have a completed project.
  • Nonfiction writers developing a book proposal or project.
  • Writers who have been rejected and are looking to evaluate and possibly refine their work to make a project more attractive.
Please note that Rachelle does not accept nor specialize in children's or middle grade literature, and she is only considering limited YA. So while she will likely pass along good advice that can translate to children's and YA, she will not address those genres specifically in this webinar.

The lotion I have been looking for (aloe)
Scent: Aloe Vera, Size: 18 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The perfect lotion I have been searching for. It balances my sensitive skin of being both too dry and too oily, which in turn is helping my acne, and it’s a good size for a good price. Exactly what I need.

Great but heavily scented.
Scent: Shea Butter, Size: 18 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great value for the size. Cream was light and blended into skin quickly. Non-greasy. My only problem with it was the smell was pleasant but too strong for me. Ended up ordering the unscented.

My absolute favorite body lotion!
Scent: Shea Butter, Size: 18 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
They stopped selling it in stores for a few years (I sent a complaint, because the newer ones in the fancy bottles are not good at all), then they brought it back (I bought bottles of it when it returned), and now it has disappeared from stores, again (or it is never in stock). So glad I can find it on Amazon. It's my favorite lotion and I have been using it for over 20 years. They kept the original formula for the most part - I cannot tell a difference. It keeps my skin soft without being greasy. It doesn't clog my pores and my skin is happy again. The smell is light and pleasant. Please don't ever get rid of it again!

It works
Scent: Fragrance-Free, Size: 18 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Ok, Im older now. Everything in us girls changed as we age. Skin does to. Ichy, dry, uncomfortable in your own skin. So I saw this on Amazon, and got just to try. Wow!!! Easy to use, goes on smoothly. I don't know what's in that stuff but I know it works. My skin is so much better now. Give it a try. Take care.
