And I’m a structure fanatic – I’m currently writing a very in-depth series of blogs on the process.
How was your experience in looking for an agent and/or publisher? Would you offer some advice to fledgling authors?
My experience was completely atypical - since I've worked as a screenwriter for a long time, all I had to do was give The Harrowing to my film agent, he gave it to a book acquisitions agent at the agency, and she passed it on to several good literary agents in New York. I had a great agent within a week and a two-book deal from St. Martin's within the month. But I paid my dues in the Hollywood trenches!
I have lots of advice on seeking representation - here are two blog posts I've compiled on the subject, with links to other essential resources: here and here.
What do you do on Halloween?
These days I always have a book signing event! Because of what I write, I'll never have a Halloween to myself again. At least I can still dress up.
Is there anything else you'd like to tell our readers?
I’m always happy to answer questions and dialogue on my blog.
And Happy Halloween!
