Is he the disgruntled nobleman she's spying on? I understand keeping the name count down, but I'm confused as to whether some of these descriptors may be talking about the same people.<br /><br />What's the brother's situation now and is the risk something besides him ending up on the streets? I don't see a deadly coup having a directly lethal affect on him. Is there more family that hasn't been mentioned?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-22804391652931546812020-08-13T16:29:08.799-04:002020-08-13T16:29:08.799-04:00If your conventional wisdom is valid, you have sev...If your conventional wisdom is valid, you have several options, obviously. I assume Niamsha is introduced before Lord Arkaen, in which case you can simply improve the Niamsha paragraph, possibly by answering a couple of the questions it led me to ask, or put Arkaen's intro chapter before Niamsha's, or tack a prologue starring Arkaen onto the front of the book. <br /><br />Presumably the agent will read your query before reading any of your book. If the query intrigues her, and she then refuses to represent you for the petty reason that your query introduced the wife before the husband, when the husband appears before the wife in the book (a "problem" she can fix if she wishes before submitting to editors), she obviously will be difficult to work with, and you don't want her. <br /><br />Evil Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03879826770199639420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-79249480204564533972020-08-13T11:11:33.136-04:002020-08-13T11:11:33.136-04:00Quick question if you have a chance, EE--

Throw that out, or build the first paragraph more so they both feel detailed and connected to plot?<br /><br />Also, I now VERY much want to write a book named I, Shaman. I wonder if she CAN be a shaman.....<br /><br />Thanks!Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00917261585558214582noreply@blogger.com
