1. Decide to write book.
2. Come up with AMAZING idea for book.
3. Write book.
4. Edit book (repeat until eyes bleed).
5. Decide book sucks.
6. Burn book to a crisp (dancing gleefully around the flames is optional).
7. Get smacked by the Muse with an even better idea.
8. Write book.
9. Edit book (repeat until eyes…and fingers…bleed).
10. Write killer query letter.
11. Edit query letter until you’re faint…and losing your mind.
12. Research literary agents (I recommend an incredible site called AgentQuery.com).
13. Connect with fabulous agent after many, many, many, many, many, MANY rejections.
14. Live happily ever after.
And…did I mention that Agent Query is bragging up Vlad on their front page? With good reason, Minions. If not for them, I might not have Michael. Give ‘em a try!


Wow, cool! Look at you go!
Agentquery.com rocks — that was my number one resource as well, with P&E to double-check.
Yay for you and Vlad!
Some of those don’t seem so easy… yanno, I’m just saying.
That’s exactly what I used, Lisa! We rawk.
Would it have helped, Ewoh, if I’d placed a snicker after the word “easy”?
yes, that would definitely help
I love you. Thank you for the reminder that it takes TIME!!!!
*hugs*

I’m good on 1-12. 13 is giving me some trouble. Bad 13. Can’t I skip straight to 14?
