Some good advice for writers

Okay, maybe I'm just being lazy but here are links to three of Nathan Bransford's blog posts that I think are worth reading even if you are way beyond this. Nathan gives some good advice to writers and if you don't follow his blog, you should. He's a literary agent but don't hold that against him--he is also pretty entertaining. His mission with the blog seems to be a good fit with The Queue's mission to help writers get better and the best writing get published!


In my writers group we had a bit of a disagreement over proper formatting of manuscripts for submission. I was told, in so many words, that I was being anal. Okay, I'll accept that but when I get manuscripts at The Queue, this is how I'd like to see them formatted: How to Format Your Manuscript

If an agent or publisher asked you to describe your plot, could you do it? Before you read Do You Have a Plot?, jot down your answer. You might just be surprised.


Character and Plot: Inseparable! is a great continuation of Do You Have a Plot.


Thanks Nathan for making my blogging sooooo easy!
