I think the biggest mistake you can make is getting the agent's name wrong.

 

That and/or sending in raunchy pictures of you writing the book wearing nothing but pink socks and a 16th century feathered hat.

 

Depends on the genre?

 

Erotic sci-fi mystery.

 

In a 16th century historical setting...

Actually, joking aside, the article is good. I can't believe some people would do some of the things the agents remarked upon ...well, okay, I can...

 

Buy yourself a boat, we have a best-seller!

 

Check out slush pile hell if you haven't already.

 

Is that a book title, or did you mean I should google the subject? Sounds fun. I'm beginning to develop some sympathy ...a teency tiny smidgen of sympathy ...for agents. They must get SO much crap on a daily basis.

 

Its a blog just search for it It's brilliant.

 

Will do. Thanks.
