Thursday, February 20, 2014. Don't get the big head about it. A cautionary tale by Ron Argo. I had this nonchalant attitude and naive concept that the big house would take care of publicity with the promised $10k advertising budget—well, certainly you’ll understand how I let myself get the big head. My NY agent dropped me too. But what actually happened to bring things to such a sudden halt?

The Thrill Begins: How I Handle Rejection

http://thethrillbegins.blogspot.com/2015/06/how-i-handle-rejection.html

Thursday, June 18, 2015. How I Handle Rejection. But that’s a good thing. First of all, the fact that it was even read by top people in the industry is an accomplishment. More important, if you’re piling up rejection slips that means you’re still in the game, that you haven’t given up, that you’re not a quitter, and that’s a sign of character, that you believe in yourself regardless of what other professionals might think. Was rejected 38 times, The Great Gatsby. The New York Post. Cary Grant: A Celebrat...

http://thethrillbegins.blogspot.com/2012/08/thrillerfest-2012-view-from-debut.html

Thursday, August 23, 2012. Thrillerfest 2012: View from a Debut. Holy hell, what a cool conference! This was my third trip to Thrillerfest. And my first as a debut author.

This year, however, I came to ITW. As a debut author, having published my novel FINAL CROSSING (Vantage Point Books) in June. Overall, however, Thrill...

Thursday, July 30, 2015. By M P. Cooley. I spent four years working on my debut novel,. Six months of that time was spent on developing the plot, fleshing out characters, and doing research.
