Hey, aspiring/perspiring writers of lesfic. I’m having a little groovy contest over at Women and Words to win a copy of Lavender Ink: Writing and Selling Lesbian Fiction, ed. by Fran Walker. It’ll walk you through writing tips, putting together a query packet for a publisher, and the contracting process:
- how to create vivid characters and realistic dialogue
- what an editor looks for in a well-crafted story
- tips on researching publishers of lesbian fiction
- how to work with an editor
- how to write query letters and synopses
- how the publishing industry works
- how to read a book contract clause by clause
- marketing strategies for your book
(full disclosure–I have a chapter in here)
So come on down to Women and Words and play in the contest to win yourself a copy!
