Stinks to Be Multitalented
I meet a lot of gifted writers in my travels as I speak and teach at quality writers conferences from east to west (not to mention north and south, though I just did mention it, so I’ve already lowered my grade on this homework assignment. You didn’t know Steve Laube—He Who Must Be Obeyed—assigns homework? Psssht. Don’t be naïve.) Anyhoo (more points off for the slang, doggone it), I often find myself saying the same thing to many of those fine writers: “Don’t quit your day job,” “Buy my books,” and “Stop saying ‘begs the question’ when you mean ‘prompts …

Don’t Be a Mystery Author
When I review a proposal for a nonfiction book, I first look at the author, then the book concept and marketing platform, and then everything else. Often, I am left with more questions than answers if the author buries information about themselves on page eight or is vague about their background. Who are you? What do you do? How long have you been writing? What do you believe? (because this is Christian publishing) Where do you live?
