Book Signings

Well this weekend is book signing weekend. I have 3 schedule.

Whew....

I just hope I have enough books.

This kids are really cute, especially when they are engaged into conversation and into the story. They have such insight and curiosity, it amazes me.

Tomorrow will be early to rise and on my way to Exton, PA for a signing/story time and the Wellington Square Bookshoppe. It is a really cool place, even has a coffee shop inside.

Sunday will be at the Ridley Library, I know a lot of my friends will be there. Oh boy...it is easy to perform in front of kids, but when the parents are watching I tend to get a little shy.

Monday will be just a book signing if I have any books left at the Helen Kate Furness Library in Wallingford. The kids will be reading books to the PALS therapy animals. How cute is that?

Next weekend will be the last book signing for the season. Over in Salem County, hope to see all my PGHS classmates there. And again, hope I have enough books.

So off I go to sign a bunch of books and see some sweet smiles.

A Query Letter

I've just done some research on how to write a query letter. Whew!!! A lot of pressure to perfect a 1 page letter to an editor. If you don't get their attention in the first line, your letter will go directly to the reject pile.

I should know, I sent out 94 and received 94 rejections.

My query letter was not professional.

So back to the drawing board.

I have a great story that I believe could be a great seller, but how do I convey this in 1 small page?

Also, what about experience, awards, etc. I don't have much in the writing realm with awards, but I suppose that personal and professional experience and awards will work.

There is a ton of samples out there, if you are struggling to write a query letter.

I have some samples as well as dos and don'ts.

I will post my query letter as a sample if it becomes successful enough to get a literary agent to want to work with me.

Wish me luck!
