Smart agent. I don't suppose you would tell me her name so I could query her. . .?

Jane - I came across a new blog today and noticed she had a four-part series on Building your platform. Thought of you right away (regarding Q #4). Here's the link to the first one, and then scroll up to more current posts to see 2-4. =)

You are asking questions that I've either asked myself the past six months or am still asking. I was just wondering what "upmarket" meant last night, in fact. Regarding the difference between chick lit, women's fiction, ect. - I…

What I Still Don't Know About Being a Writer, Even After 2009

After spending time searching for a publisher or agent, I often come away from the computer more confused than enlightened. I'm new to the world of publishing, you see, and I'm educated in Psychology and Counseling, not English Lit. I feel like there is a secret lingo that I'm not privy to. The following is a list of what I still don't understand:1. I don't know what agents mean by "literary nonfiction" "narrative nonfiction" and "commercial nonfiction." I vaguely know what literary…See More

Sorry about the Huntington's. My memoir is a family memoir as well. Keep in touch...or feel free to ask for critiques, edits etc.

Oh, I didn't notice there was a Mass group. I'll have to check that out. My book is a memoir about my family and Huntington's disease, a degenerative neurological disease that went undiagnosed for years.

You were my first friend request. How nice! It looks like you write some interesting things. I'll have to check it out.

Jane Denning replied to the discussion 'Hello' in the group Virtual Critique Group

I just checked out your blog. I really liked your story. I found your characters intriguing. I liked the way your style of leaving so much unsaid mirrored that of your characters. You do have to be careful, though, that you tell enough. For example,…

I would be a willing reader of chick lit, giving specific critiques about plot and character.

I saw that you're writing about Huntington's Disease. My grandmother was diagnosed with Huntington's four years ago, and my aunt was just diagnosed last month. I think it's great that you're writing about it because it will create so much awareness.

Jeannette LeSure commented on the blog post 'I could only write my memoir…After my mother had died'

My father's death opened the closet of horrible memories and I began to write "ugly" as I called it then. I began to reach for some honesty in my writing as I went through three years of frequent flashbacks--not of HIM, but of another…
