Ah fun

[nadinbrzezinski]

so these days one of the non fiction markets I am looking at does net forms. Here is the trick. The body of your proposal cannot be longer than 200 words.

So I spent all day editing 200 words...

No, never ever send a first draft, or a second draft or a third draft.

So it took all day to get that to where I wanted it... oy.

Done. Sent...

And at one point I would have at best, edited it once.

1. Well then, Miss Nadanny

Let's have a look see?

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. What the proposal? You would only get the finished product

I did not save any of the darm drafts.

3. I had to do that for a fiction query

They wanted a jacket-cover synopsis and I think it took me a week before I had it where I wanted it. I've never worked 100 words over so hard.

4. I must say, it was all kinds of fun

still waiting to hear from them.

But that is the way things are with markets... hurry up and wait.
