Busy writing, just not on my blog

by | Apr 1, 2007 | Blog, Improve your writing | 0 comments

Gentle Reader, many apologies for the lack of recent posts. My excuse, however, is solid: I have just completed a rough draft of THE BOOK and am up to my nose in revisions. My tendency towards concision, as exhibited in this blog, has played itself out on a broader scale: what I mean to say is that the book is on the short side. I am told by people who know such things that it is not something to worry about at present. My task is to build incrementally upon the existing framework.

While the architectural metaphor suits the subject matter of my book, I have been thinking of this revision phase more like embroidery, as on re-reading I’ve discovered some stretches of plain fabric that need some detailed work. Given that I can barely sew a button to a shirt, this could prove the most challenging part yet.

Check out what my clients are saying…

Virginia was incredibly helpful with conducting a deep dive researching the top agents for my memoir. I had no idea where to begin with this process. Virginia provided an excellent summary sheet and description chart for each agent with details for submission requirements. I am thankful for Virginia’s experience coaching me through this cumbersome process. Without her help I would still be swimming through the vast ocean of agents. Thankfully now I have a very specific list for best chance to get a read. - 4/09/2025

Thank you again Virginia for your very thoughtful and concise video, which I have watched a number of times and now realise how difficult it is to get the query letter right, and how precise you must be in hooking the agent/publisher's interest. I totally agree with everything you have said, and very much appreciate your expertise in this area, as without it, I wouldn't stand a chance! I now feel 100% more confident that I do stand a chance to be read, and that feels good! Thank you for your invaluable support. Winifred Lomax - 2/09/2025
