How to Get a Novel Published...: What's in a name?
http://katsnovelideas.blogspot.com/2009/05/whats-in-name.html
How to Get a Novel Published. May 2, 2009. What's in a name? Someone asked me the other day what the title of my novel was. 8220;The Graces of Mercy and Circumstance,” I replied. That’s a mouthful,” he frowned and walked away, clearly afraid that I would elaborate. (That day, someone also laughed at my use of an allegedly non-existent word: “unmown”. Clearly, it was not a great day for literature or the English language.). Karin is physically beautiful, although she’s either unaware of it or doubts...

How to Get a Novel Published...: Bully for the Underdog
http://katsnovelideas.blogspot.com/2009/04/recent-you-tube-phenom-susan-boylethe.html
How to Get a Novel Published. April 17, 2009. Bully for the Underdog. The recent You Tube phenom, Susan Boyle. 8212;the dowdy, heavily-browed, 47-year-old virgin from some UK village, has just reached the 16 million mark in total viewers with her debut performance on “Britain’s Got Talent”. This strikes me, particularly these days, as strong evidence of one thing: we love the underdog. Or at least that’s what I hope for. I thought. What’s the worst that could happen? Hmm…wouldn’t that be like...Hopefully...

How to Get a Novel Published...: My Kingdom for a Wooden Shoe
http://katsnovelideas.blogspot.com/2009/05/my-kingdom-for-wooden-shoe.html
How to Get a Novel Published. May 6, 2009. My Kingdom for a Wooden Shoe. I don’t like to brag but I’m not usually perplexed by technology or the computer-ese jargon of elite IT secret societies. What does perplex me, however, is the HTML language in the context of the painfully useless and inaptly named Blogger Help. Is that what Satan calls his podium at the gates of hell? Satan, with his little concierge nameplate pinned to his heartless chest that says, “Ask me where to go”? So here I am. Trudging...

How to Get a Novel Published. May 22, 2009. I'll Give You Desperate. In light of what that writer said, as mentioned in the last entry—about not alluding to rejections in her blog for fear that she would appear desperate and her novel would come across as insanely un-likeable, un-publishable, and untouchable by angelic agent hands, I thought I would take the one step I said I would several weeks ago: post on the Publisher’s Marketplace as Writer Seeking Agent.
