"There are even websites out there where one can buy followers. What is the point of that? Numbers, I guess. I prefer to start small, with like-minded people, and build from there."

"I may be asking a question that has already been answered, but is a pitch delivered in person or on paper? Is a pitch something one would find in a query letter? How is a query letter different than a pitch? Sorry, new to the process."

> 3 cheers for your Target book. I'll look for it next time I'm in there.


Thanks! And will hope to see you in the Chat.

Tyra,

With apologies for being tardy with my welcome, we're delighted to have you in the novelist group!

You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. We save the wall for discussion, so please refrain from linking to blog posts there, but do add them in the “Links to Helpful Blog Posts for Writers” discussion thread.

And we do a live chat every Wednesday at 1EST; instructions on how to participate if you haven't done so already are in the "Our Water Cooler Wednesdays" box near the top of the group page.
