  1. @HeleneBoudreau To paraphrase my mother: It is all fun and games till someone pukes on the floor!
  2. @bookavore Accept but limit what he can see! Like, no pictures or wall posts. In fact, I'd probably limit it to just "favorite books."
  3. RT @AuthoressAnon DROP THE NEEDLE -- writers, will you enter? http://bit.ly/4o18FH
  4. I wish there were Christmas candy in my desk. Why must I work so hard to prevent mindless editorial snacking?
  5. @BenRubinstein I'll take your candy cane & raise you a dark chocolate covered Trader Joe's oreo with crushed candy cane filling & topping.
  6. @slushpilehero It is really interesting--but it will definitely make you crave oysters!
  7. New on the blog-- Book Back Story: How Joining the Crew Helped Christopher White Write SKIPJACK http://bit.ly/6BfeYD
  8. The goal for this week is to get as much done as possible before heading home for the holidays. Take that, stacks of paper!
  9. @literaticat @molly_oneill We definitely must plot shenanigans.
  10. @saratribble Yes, all though I almost always do send a decline.
  11. @AudryT LOL-- that is 100% a joke. I *probably* cannot sell a novel about elderly Mormon vampires on a synopsis alone. @HawkandHandsaw
  12. @HawkandHandsaw If they are also vampires, I'm pretty sure I could sell it with just a synopsis. Email it to me by monday? I'll pitch Knopf.
  13. @saratribble It is! Feel free to query--sub info on our website. www.strothmanagency.com
  14. More emerging slush themes: teachers writing 500+ page MG novels, Mormons, Hurricane Katrina, historical fic about writer's grandparents.
  15. I've got CNN playing in the background-- I am really enjoying their incredibly awkward method of discussing user tweets.
  16. @ColleenLindsay I aim to please! You must be missing the crazy with your new fancy query system.
  17. A teleplay, a screenplay, a short screenplay and a book series all in one query? #understandingliteraryagentsfail
  18. @IrisBlasi My favorite slush is that which is written by incredibly minor reality TV stars.
  19. Slush themes so far: Nonfiction about cats, alcoholism, revenge memoirs written to expose X group, Druids, angry medical professionals.
  20. I, personally, find quoting famous authors an ineffective strategy to convince me to request your work. #pubtip
