How to get published: Tip #766.
Be able to summarize your story by quoting some pithy aphorism. One sentence or less, please.
Three of the last four books I sold, I used some quote when describing the book to my editor. Not really on purpose. I only noticed it today.
They were:
Chico the Brave(Penguin 2012): "Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway". — John Wayne
Little Big Horse (Scholastic 2014) "The best way to defeat an enemy is to make him your friend." — Abe Lincoln
Title, Top Secret (Penguin 2014) "Jews know two things: suffering and where to get the best Chinese food." — Woody Allen
I probably paraphrased all of the above, but what the hell this is the internet.
