Blown Mind

Last night’s online chat with Jeffrey Moores (literary consultant and editor) over at Agent Query was mind-blowing to say the least. Seriously, it was like that Pizza Pop commercial (or is it Pizza Pockets?) and everyone was a little pizza pocket and then Jeff came along and *splat*! I will be sponging grey matter off the chat room walls all day! But it was sooo worth it.  ‘Its got more stuff’ could apply to Jeff in last night’s chat.

Here’s a taste of some of the advice he handed out to members: cut all your adverbs. Do NOT put a hook in your query letter. Yes, “AVOID THE HOOK”. And I quote.

It was a great chat with all sorts of great advice that will keep us writers thinking for days to come. If you want to check out the chat transcripts, click here. (You need to be a member. If you aren’t a member, simply sign up. No cost.)

Don’t forget, Jeff is doing a double hitter. That means another chat tonight! Don’t miss out. Join us. He’ll be critiquing 5 lucky AQ members’ work. Woo! (If you entered the ‘draw’, check out the thread on AQ to see if you ‘won’.)

Enjoy!
