I don't usually post anything other than video on the blog, but I thought this was worth the break from tradition. Chuck Sambuchino, Editor of The Guide to Literary Agents, just posted Wildefire's query (along with my Super-Agent Mary Kole's commentary on it) up on his Successful Queries column on his blog:
http://www.guidetoliteraryagents.com/blog/Successful+Queries+Agent+Mary+Kole+And+Wildefire.aspx
This is a companion piece to a spotlight he's writing about Wildefire and I for a forthcoming issue of Writer's Digest. Thanks to Mary and Chuck for putting this together.
I hope you enjoy this behind-the-scenes featurette.
And what a nice query it was!
ReplyDeleteawesome! I'll go check it out!
ReplyDeleteThis makes you even cooler than the vlogs do. Thanks for the link, I'll go read your query!
ReplyDeleteGreat query :) heh if I didn't already want to read Wildefire that would certainly make me want to!
ReplyDeleteAnd you have an upcoming feature in Writer's Digest Magazine? Awesome!
Wow, great query and what a beautiful cover. I can't wait to get my hands on the book and will wear oven mitts myself because it is hot, hot, hot!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes.
Mary Kole is your agent? How did I not notice this???
ReplyDeleteIt all makes sense now.
I'll check it out.
ReplyDeleteYou studied with Danzy Senna. That's awesome! I loved Caucasia.
Wow! Amazing query, Karsten. I loved the volcanic imagery throughout. No wonder she snapped you up!
ReplyDeleteSweet! Gonna go check it out.
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteI love that cover!!!*crosses arms and pouts* I want it now!
ReplyDeleteKarsten: I just wanted to let you know that I gave your vlog a shout-out over on my blog. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteAs an intern who's read countless queries over the last year, I'd say this is probably one of the best I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteGod, can you write mine for me? :-p
I read about you in Writer's Digest. Congratulations, Karsten. I'm a Boston girl myself. I went to MassArt, right up the road from Simmons. You landed a wonderful and intelligent agent and I wish all the luck in the world. : ) I'm looking forward to reading your book. And I will follow your blog. Because I must see you do this dance. Too funny.
