Hmm… where to find the time to write 200-word summaries of my twelve novels? Maybe I’d better sit this one out, and let someone else get a crack at it!

It’s actually something to think about: When you prepare to sell your novel, you should always think about every type of potential marketing device you can use–like a 200-word summary–and do as many of them as you can, to be ready for that moment when someone happens to ask for them. You never know when you might run into someone who, like David, makes this kind of offer… and is actually in a position to get you published or represented! It’s a shame to have to pass up on such an opportunity, because you weren’t prepared with your materials.

Hi, Yoda. Yep, if you want to publicize your idea rather than a published book–well, sure I’ll include it. I envision the post as actually mentioning books already published, but since I’m not overwhelmed with responses so far, let me see if I can’t at least get in your idea, if that’s what you have in mind.

Thanks,
David

So, it’s probably not what the post is about, but what if one is writing a book and planning on getting it published?

And yes, I’m aware of the odds of that happening….

(It never hurts to ask, right? I mean, worse case scenario one just looks stupid in front of the whole internet.
