I'll be giving these a good read over tonight. <BR/><BR/>And I'm in awe that someone would query on a blog.

I read a lot of these and some are amazing insight into how much similar projects they get over and over. <br />Rachel Vater did a list of cliched queries, which I found interesting and relevant to us, avoiding cliched terms in query letters can help get us read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-69678918085782717312007-02-07T13:21:00.000-05:002007-02-07T13:21:00.000-05:00Kimber,

Go read Nathan Bransford's post today. "Dude looks like a YA". Amazing post. Dude is one smart agent.

It comes with popularity (for example, one of my blogs was recently swarmed with haters so I've temporarily taken off the comments option). <br /><br />Why I say they're insane is that comments are linked to IP addies and since most people access from either home or work...<br /><br />Gotta take the good with the bad.<br /><br />I also enjoy the editor blogs. Really gives you a feel for what they like or dislike.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
