Yesterday I actually broke 70,000 words on the third Cloud Roads book. Very big relief! I was getting a little bruised from slamming into that wall again and again. Now let's see if I can actually finish chapter 12.

T.L. Morganfield: A Successful Agent Hunting Expedition She goes into detail about how she went about looking for and finding an agent, all the steps she went through, what to do and not to do.

The antho includes some great stuff from established writers like Holly Black, Naomi Novik, China Mieville, Alan Moore, Caitlin R.

Jemisin, Reza Negarestani, and Charles Yu—not to mention the micro-fictions section in the back, which includes several first sales.
The Creative Penn: How Amazon Recommendation Algorithms Help Sell Your Book I knew that publishers (and potential publishers) did pay attention to the ratings and reviews on Amazon, but it also helps show up in the Amazon recommendation system, which can really help a book that is not being pushed by the publisher.
