Make the Bread, Buy the Butter. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. From tom kaa gai to a cookie Coolatta. Pounding curry paste. I think my arms might be a little "stronger.". Final chapter of trip report:. In Chiang Mai, Isabel and I took a daylong class at the Thai Farm Cooking School. Which is located on a working organic farm where mangos are wrapped in paper to prevent birds from eating them before they fully ripen. It seems like a lot of work, wrapping up every single mango. Recipe for delicious banana dessert...

Adventures in Agentland: Open Forum - Answered!

http://www.adventuresinagentland.com/2010/11/open-forum-answered.html

One Literary Agent's adventures through the world of publishing. Monday, November 29, 2010. Open Forum - Answered! HOW AGENTS WORK WITH CLIENTS. I'm curious about the timeline on a debut novel that's in the first rounds of revision with a newly signed client. As an agent, do you typically shoot for a certain word count per week? Also, when you’re working with a new author on a second or third book, what's your timeline on getting that new book? And how does this work? No, an existing client does not need...

Adventures in Agentland: Creating Dynamic Peripheral Characters

http://www.adventuresinagentland.com/2010/08/creating-dynamic-peripheral-characters.html

One Literary Agent's adventures through the world of publishing. Tuesday, August 17, 2010. Creating Dynamic Peripheral Characters. This is a blog post I never thought I would write. Why? Because I had no idea, until I went head-first into revision with one of my authors, what to say about it. But when an editor comes back to you saying she loves the book, but she’d like to see some revision on peripheral characters, well, gosh darn it, you figure out what to say pretty fast! That little detail, those dar...

One Literary Agent's adventures through the world of publishing. Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Plot Dot Test: Plot-to-Page method. I saw a post about what I call the “plot dot test” a while back*, and I’ve found it so useful I think it’s worth a highlight. A chapter-by-chapter outline (or a finished manuscript). Pen. Paper. Here’s a recent plot dot I did:. And bear in mind, a traditional story arc should look something like this:. For too fast of a pace: insert some same-level chapters or scenes in between h...

Adventures in Agentland: Unsolicited Revise & Resubmissions

http://www.adventuresinagentland.com/2012/06/unsolicited-revise-resubmissions.html

One Literary Agent's adventures through the world of publishing. Monday, June 4, 2012. Unsolicited Revise and Resubmissions. Here’s my take on this: though it is tempting to take an agent (or editor’s) feedback on a pass and write back – great thoughts! Soooo…if I just change x,y, and z will you take another look? Because really, if an agent (or editor) wants. To see a manuscript again – he or she will leave that option open in the pass letter. I have never signed a client from a revision I did not.
