		FROM THE EDITOR It was about two years ago when my wife and I were sitting at a restaurant and she suggested combining about two of my greatest writing interests: politics & dogs. The result of that unexpected date night conversation finally comes to fruition this Monday with the release of my second humor book, RED DOG / BLUE DOG: WHEN POOCHES GET POLITICAL, a humorous photo collection of dogs doing stereotypical liberal and conservative things. I'm so very excited for this week to finally be here! The book's official release date is July 31, but Amazon has already delivered pre-orders and Barnes & Noble locations are slowly getting it in stock. When you have a book coming out, a big thing you find yourself doing during the book release time frame is little promotional things -- blog interviews, contacting local media members, and spreading the word. If you're interested in learning more about book publicity and promotion, I recently wrote a guest column for Writer Unboxed all about 7 tips on promoting your book. (There's even a giveaway contest with the post. Ssshhh.) Until next time, good luck writing, agent hunting, and building your platform!  Chuck Sambuchino Editor, 2012 Guide to Literary Agents Editor, 2012 Children's Writer's & Illustrator's Market Author, Red Dog / Blue Dog: When Pooches Get Political (July 2012) Author, How to Survive a Garden Gnome Attack Author, Create Your Writer Platform (Nov. 2012) literaryagent@fwmedia.com www.guidetoliteraryagents.com/blog @chucksambuchino Chuck on Facebook HOW TO WRITE A SYNOPSIS The synopsis is a tricky thing, and writing one is a dreaded endeavor in the writing world. How do you explain all about your story in such a limited amount of space? How do you explain the important story beats and leave out the extraneous material? What's the best way to begin one? Well, for starters, I suggest you check out a previous column I wrote, giving a few tips on writing a synopsis for a novel or memoir. It's one of my most popular guest columns ever. If you want more help, perhaps I can be of assistance. This Monday, July 30, 2012, I am offering a special webinar called "Critique Series: Novel Synopses." It's an intensive 90-minute class, and each attendee is guaranteed a comprehensive synopsis critique from me after the event. If you're writing adult fiction, children's fiction or memoir, and can't seem to get your synopsis in order, I can put your work under the microscope and give feedback that will help you on your journey to getting an agent. Sign up for the synopsis webinar here. Hope to "see" you there! GLA BLOG GIVEAWAYS As usual, there are OODLES of author guest columns on the GLA Blog that include a giveaway contest. It's simple to enter. Just comment on any of the columns (or all!), and a winner is chosen at random for each contest. You can win a contest even if you've won before.  1. John Verdon, author of the thriller LET THE DEVIL SLEEP, wrote the guest column, "The More You Write For Yourself, The Better Your Book Will Be," and hosts a giveaway. 2. Leah Bobet, author of the novel ABOVE, shares "7 Things I've Learned So Far," and gives away a free book. 3. Julie Klam, best-selling author of YOU HAD ME AT WOOF, is thelatest dog author in my dog author interview series, and she is giving away a free book. 4. Sara Foster, best-selling Australian author of BENEATH THE SHADOWS, wrote the guest column, "Don't Get Rejected Before Agents Even Read a Word," and gives away a free book. AGENT KATE MCKEAN TEACHES "AWESOME FIRST PAGES" AND CRITIQUES ATTENDEES' WORK To command the attention of agents, editors and readers, your story must start strong. You must draw the reader in with excellent writing and characters, without relying too much on description or dumping tons of info on readers. The good news is WD has enlisted literary agent Kate McKean (Morhaim Literary) to teach a great new webinar on Thursday, July 26, 2012 called "Awesome First Pages: How to Start Your Story Right."  ABOUT THE CRITIQUE All registrants are invited to submit the first 500 words of their novel in advance of the event. All submissions are guaranteed a written critique by literary agent Kate McKean. Kate reserves the right to request more writing from attendees by e-mail following the event, if she deems the writing excellent. ABOUT THE WEBINAR You only get one chance to make a first impression—and that one chance with a reader lasts only minutes. It's no longer acceptable for a book to "get good on page 40." From your first sentence to the first pages of your novel, it's critical to hook readers immediately—whether that reader is an agent, editor, or patron in a bookstore. Not only do you want to quickly pull readers in with your story, you also need to establish your narrative voice as reliable, believable, talented, and authoritative. So how do you best accomplish this? In this brand new webinar, instructor and literary agent Kate McKean will show you how to catch a reader's eye with your first sentences and pages. After sharing her own best principles, Kate will examine first pages from published books to show you the dos and don'ts of opening your novel/memoir (including: never start with your main character getting out of bed), and the common mistakes that drive agents crazy and stop them from reading the rest of your work. Sign up here. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Why it's important to hook the reader from the first sentence Why a prologue may do you more harm than good Common mistakes of first sentences and first pages Overused beginnings and clichés that can drag down a work The benefits and pitfalls of starting with action How to hone the compelling details of your initial story set up How writing awesome first pages is simpler than you think. Sign up here. SPEAKER Kate McKean is a literary agent at the Howard Morhaim Literary Agency in Brooklyn, NY, where she has agented for 6 years. She earned her Master's in Fiction Writing at the University of Southern Mississippi before starting her publishing career, and enjoys both the creative and business aspects of her job. Her clients include the New York Times bestselling humor book I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER?, YA and Adult fantasy writer Delilah S. Dawson, and blogger, designer, and creativity expert Noah Scalin. She is most interested in contemporary women's fiction, middle grade and young adult fiction of all stripes, craft, sports, and pop culture. Sign up here. NEW AGENTS TO QUERY Sneak a peek at the GLA Blog often, because I post an announcement of a new agent seeking writers about once a week, and said new reps are golden opportunities for writers seeking an agent. Here are the most recent two alerts. A new alert is coming within days! 1. Jennie Goloboy of Red Sofa Literary She is seeking: History–must have a commercial (non-academic) focus; early American history is preferred, but will consider all projects. Biography–no personal memoirs. Genre Fiction–science fiction/fantasy or paranormal, especially with a literary flair. young adult and middle grade fiction, especially science fiction/fantasy. 2. Brenna Barr of Dystel & Goderich Literary Management She is seeking: Brenna is attracted to true crime/adventure, the occult, humor, historical pop culture, and social issues. Regarding fiction, she is enthusiastic about graphic novels, steampunk, and alternative literature. Having recently been diagnosed with multiple food intolerances, she's also interested in cookbooks that take these issues into account. HOW TO BLOG Besides an author website, many writers build their platform, visibility and circle of friends through blogging. If blogging is up your alley, check out these blog-related columns online. (Note: To open these in a new window and not close this newsletter, remember you can always right click and choose "Open in a New Window.") 1. So You Have a Blog -- Now What? 2. Create a Breakout Blog and Build Your Platform 3. How to Backup Your Blog and Save Content AGENT-CONFERENCE OPPORTUNITIES There are plenty of opportunities for writers to meet agents face to face at writers' conferences and pitch their work in 2012. Remember: Meeting agents in person is a great way to get past the slush pile. If an agent is interested in your work and requests a sample or book proposal, you can write "Requested Material" on your submission, making sure it gets a fair read and consideration. Know that there are two types of conferences. There are general writers' conferences, that address a variety of subjects, and then there are specialized conferences, which usually tend to focus on a single genre—such as western, romance, or mystery. You will find both kinds in this list below. Midwest Writers Workshop, July 26-28, Muncie, IN      Attending agents: Kathleen Ortiz (Nancy Coffey Literary); Brooks Sherman (FinePrint Literary); J.L. Stermer (NS Bienstock); and Sarah LaPolla (Curtis Brown).

Friday, August 10, 2012: Screenplays Wanted

Hello Everyone,

Here's some leads to check out.     

**********

Hi there, 

 

Why have upwards of 12,000 newsletter readers if you can't ask them things every now and then?

 

The piece about Marvel comics last week set me thinking. If you've ever been a comics fan I've got a question for you!

 

Years (and years!) ago I read the first part of a story that I'd love to track down. I think the first few pages of the story appeared in the back of a Fantastic Four comic, and I never got the next issue, and, even after all this time, I'd still love to find out what happened. 

 

I'm not sure if it was a FF story in its own right, or whether it was just some kind of short, off shooty thing. The setup was that there was an middle aged man, maybe in his mid fifties,who had the power to make the world exactly as he wanted - and the gimmick was he didn't know he could do it. 

 

As far as I remember, he was a gloomy, blue collar kind of a guy, a natural pessimist, and so if he thought he was going to have a tough day at work, or it would rain on his barbecue, or he'd get a traffic ticket - because he had this super power, power, well, he would bend the world to make it happen - without knowing HE had made it happen - and so he just got constant validation of his own pessimism and got more and more gloomy. 

 

There was only one thing he had no control over, and that was his lazy, long haired, hippy son, (and that just went to show, as the narrator said, there are just some things in the universe that are too difficult to change, and a layabout son is one of them!)

 

Anyway, the episode ended about there, but I have looked for years to find out what happened! Maybe he went up against the FF  somehow, maybe he had a much smaller foe - maybe it wasn't even IN a FF comic but was somewhere else - but I would LOVE to track it down..! 

 

Because of the son I think it had to be around the late sixties - does this ring any bells with you?

ANOTHER GOLDMINE/SCRIPT-CONSULTANT WORKSHOP

SPARE A FIVER?

 

Blue Teapot Theatre Company in Galway work with actors who have learning disabilities. They are a great company and recently lost Arts Council Funding due to cuts and the fact that actors with their disabilities are not deemed important enough by the Arts Council in Ireland. Despite the company raising a High profile last

year for the Arts Council. If you have a spare fiver that you can donate to help them reach, or even surpass their target that would be great... and if you believe in Karma the amount will be returned to you ten fold.

SHARK JUMPING?

 

Is "The Big Bang Theory" fading out? Too many sex based storylines, and not enough geek action? Too much canned laughter? Whatever the reason, I'm not getting quite as much joy from it lately. Oh no. :( 

 

ADVENTURES IN ACTION

 

John Buchan's definition of romantic adventure: "That which effects the mind with a sense of wonder--the surprises of life, fights against odds, the weak confounding the strong, beauty and courage flowering in unlikely places."

 

"It's not much of an exaggeration to say that all contemporary escapist entertainment begins with 'The 39 Steps,'" - Robert Towne, the screenwriter of "Chinatown". 

 

"Most 'pure' movie thrillers, especially when you think of Hitchcock, are either fantasies fulfilled or anxieties purged." - that was Robert Town again.

SCRIPTS WANTED 

 

Firstly, an unusual one. 

 

I had an email this week from a Goldminer called James Darren Newton. I don't know James personally, but this looks like it could be an interesting opportunity, so I'm reproducing it here in case any of you are interested:

 

"Hi Phil

 

I'm looking for a feature script to direct/shoot next year. A low budget (<£100k) with limited locations. Ideally a drama, but I will consider other character driven genres too. Something along the lines of "Exam" or "Buried". 

 

This will be my first feature. I've directed lots of theatre and a few short films. Over the years I've done my fair share of corporate work too - I was internal at Microsoft for several years where I directed countless films. I trained as an actor and worked in theatre and tv for a number of years before directing: 

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0628492/ 

 

And I directed The Americano - a short https://vimeo.com/16090519 

 

I currently have a project in development with Dominic Minghella at Island Pictures, and I have another feature in the very early stages of development. I can raise funds against the right project.

 

Best

 

James

 

jamesnewton at gmail.com "

 

If you're interested, please contact James directly on that email address. (Obviously please do your own due diligence before signing anything - as I said, I don't know James personally and so I'm neutral about recommending this - but it sounds like it could be a thing.)
