I’ve signed a ton of writers off query emails and the only thing I ever look for in the initial query is a logline that intrigues me. That logline gets me to request the script and everything else flows from there.
#amquerying I'll be closing to queries on querymanager Friday 4/5/24 (to catch up w/ the 130+ queries I've received in the past week). I'll reopen again in May. Please query me when YOU and YOUR WORK are ready. I'm not going anywhere! Thank you, as always, for sharing your work.
We love Hart H.

Just saw something where Succession is described as an aspirational drama. Really? Is this how we got to Elizabeth Holmes et al? 🤣🤣🤣

The novel ends in a way that definitely opens the door for this. variety.com/2024/tv/news/t…
So I'm just gonna say it: I really don't like when novels suddenly switch genres at the end. This isn't a writing rule. There are no rules. But it's my personal pref that you at least seed where something is going; don't use a genre switch as a deus ex machina to solve the crime.
Congrats Eve!! deadline.com/2024/03/wme-pr…

We loved chatting w/author @sagitschwartz (Since She's Been Gone.) A frequent q's we get is about the difference between outlining a novel and a screenplay. In this excerpt from our chat, Sagit discusses outlining & the dual timeline novel! youtube.com/watch?v=5gPdbL… #writingtips

Congrats all!!
I’ve signed a ton of writers off query emails and the only thing I ever look for in the initial query is a logline that intrigues me. That logline gets me to request the script and everything else flows from there.
Interested to see where this new publishing outfit, run by long-time pros but serving the middle ground between the big four and self-publishing will go....That the author of Atomic Habits is helping launch it is an interesting bat signal. authorsequity.com/principles
I did too. #Elsbeth is a clever, amusing, quirky-in-the-best-way character. I get the comparisons to Poker Face tho it's almost its NY-opposite--as much Holmes as Columbo. And Wendall Pierce! I'm so in. Congrats to the Kings & Jonathan Tolins.❤️❤️❤️ the revival of procedural FUN.
I absolutely loved ELSBETH on CBS/P+. Seeing comparisons to COLUMBO piqued my curiosity, and the pilot didn’t disappoint. It’s smart, funny, and most importantly, just fun to watch. And no, you don’t need to know anything about THE GOOD WIFE/FIGHT. It stands on its own.
Shout out to @sagitschwartz , who mentioned this during our talk. If you've got a romance or romantasy novel, TikTok is definitely where you want to be....cbc.ca/radio/day6/rom…
