R.L.’s Indispensible Advice Q: Dear R.L. I have written thirty-seven novels. Unlike you, however, none of them have been published. I know they don’t match your immeasurable genius but they’re pretty good. The trouble is, I can’t get publishers to look at them. I’ll never move out of my mother’s basement if I don’t sell at least one manuscript. Please, R.L., tell me the best way to find an editor or agent. Sincerely, Mom’s Favorite A: M.F.: To capture the attention of an editor or agent, you must beard him in his own lair: the writer’s conference or workshop. But beware; such a quest is not for the faint of heart. The biggest mistake aspiring authors make at these crucial events is failing to train for The Gauntlet. That $1500 registration didn’t just cover little name tags and the fees associated with renting that high school auditorium; ninjas and bumper cars don’t come cheap. Those who move through this brutal ritual and survive are granted a three-second audience with an editor or agent, so don’t waste time mastering your pain or staunching blood-flow. Have your two-word pitches prepared, people! I can’t stress that enough. To help get your creative juices going, here are some successful pitches I have heard bandied about the Published Authors Social Club:
