learning to write a pitch letter to a literary agent, is the single most Darwinian experience in your life!

I mean, seriously, read all these other people here, scrambling to get noticed. They've been eaten by seagulls, okay?

I am an Uber and Lyft driver. I have completed 45,000 rides. I have more than 485,000 miles on my Toyota Camry hybrid XLE .I have started writing a book about stories of my Rideshare journeys. Can you help me in publishing this book?

@ThatOneGuyOverThere Год назад

It’s so hard to find an agent why! Why is it so hard

@brendanmcnally9145 Год назад

Because time is unbelievably precious to agents and they have very little to waste on anything that requires a lot of work to sell. When they take you on they are taking an enormous gamble.

@ThatOneGuyOverThere Год назад

@@brendanmcnally9145 but. My idea (already completed first book) should be easy to sell. I mean, fans of The Dresden Files and Monster Hunter international should be very inclined to give mine a try

@brendanmcnally9145 Год назад

@@ThatOneGuyOverThere That sounds pretty good. Focus on agents that handle that sort and write an incredibly tight pitch letter. It's got to be really really good. Agents are super selective. Good luck cheers

I have a completed manuscript about a missionary to Kenya who served for 30 years after contracting AIDS. It is written in a third person privileged style much like a novel. Should I call it biography or narrative non fiction?

@joshuabalcombe4975 4 месяца назад

If it’s a real story completely then it’s a biography right? Google descriptions of things

@HariomSingh-yy9sl 7 месяцев назад

Hope you're doing well! I've written two books-one on deep thoughts and another on love stories. Struggling to find a publisher. Any advice or help from you would be awesome.

I do need a Literary Agent. Serious writer here. First book. It definitely will need to be a series as its well beyond 100,000 words of carefully and poetically crafted profoundedness described in unlike any other forms or texts I've personally read.

And we wonder why the world is drowning in slush? How many truly amazing works were tossed because of one person’s opinion especially giving it the quick scan through? Because when you look around it’s bleak at best. It’s going to be interesting to see if AI will be chosen over the eyes of agents, but then again AI might be writing the books too.

@mattiOTX 8 месяцев назад

No it won't because it can't. We call it AI but it's not actual intelligence, it's unable to create. It can be given parameters and source information to produce something but It lacks the basic ability to truly create nor can it judge something as subjective as art because art while it has rules those rules are guidelines and not absolutes and it can not determine when going outside of those rules is better.
