A strong book launch is the key to success for most best-selling books. But how do you launch strongly if you are not already famous? One tool is email. Email is one of the most effective tools for launching a book. One of the things I teach in my course, the Book Launch Blueprint, is to build your email list long before your launch.

I may have addressed this topic in a blog long ago, but it bears repeating. If you see a blog post written by someone you’re in contact with and think you were the source of that blog, you could be right. And that’s good. Say, for example, you asked a question about developing a sympathetic heroine. Then, behold! You see a blog post about that topic the next day. It could be a coincidence; the …

Don’t Make These Post-Rejection Mistakes

By Bob Hostetleron April 22, 2020

My least favorite part of being a literary agent is saying no. Unfortunately, like my colleagues, I do it a lot. I review and, alas, reject dozens of submissions every month. (I prefer the word “decline,” but as a writer myself I know “rejection” feels more accurate to the recipient.) Rejection is hard. For writers. For agents. For editors. Most of the time, when I or my assistant say, “no thank …

Use Your Thesaurus and Dictionary Correctly

Today we look at how one writer uses his thesaurus and dictionary in a fascinating way. The following is a five-minute video from Martin Amis, one of Britain’s well-known literary novelists and essayists. I recommend clicking the “cc” close-captioned on the bottom next to the settings button. That way you can read his words while also hearing them. Below the video I have a couple …
