Description
If too many of your queries bounce back in your e-mail box with standard-issue rejections from magazine editors, you need to read ROCK-SOLID QUERIES: The 10 Surprising Reasons Why Magazine Editors Reject Your Ideas ... and How to Write Queries That Get More Acceptances Today by Diana Burrell.
Burrell shares the often unspoken reasons why queries get rejected. Even good queries sometimes fall prey to a magazine editor's whims! However, ROCK-SOLID QUERIES gives writers tips and advice they can use to ensure their story proposals are as "rock solid" as they can be.
ROCK-SOLID QUERIES is broken up into ten easy-to-digest chapters that address everything from curing your queries of boring ledes to overcoming an editor's objections about a writer's lack of experience, or "clips." Readers will find the same friendly, encouraging voice they loved in the Renegade Writer books, and ROCK-SOLID QUERIES will have them writing better pitches today.
Diana Burrell is a Boston-based freelancer and writing instructor who has written for Parenting, Family Circle, TheAtlantic.com, Cook’s Illustrated, The Boston Globe, Kiwi, Oxygen, Brain/Child, Self, Clean Eating, The Writer, Writer’s Digest, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and dozens of other magazines, newspapers, and websites. She also founded and developed the popular British food and culture blog, Hail Britannia, which has been featured by The Boston Globe, the BBC, and PBS. Her biggest claim to fame, however, is that she’s co-author of the wildly popular Renegade Writer series of books for freelancers.
When she’s not writing or teaching, Diana enjoys biking, knitting, cooking/eating, traveling to exotic locales, and hanging out with her friends and family.
