I love Janet Reid so much. Who is Janet Reid, some of you might ask. She is an agent with a fabulous reputation at the equally fabulous Fine Print Literary Management. She is funny, brutally honest and crazy informative. She has not one, but two great blogs.
First, we have the one simply bearing her name. On this site, she sometimes muses, and rants, about timely topics within the publishing industry. Readers get to ask questions and have them answered by Ms. Reid. I learn so much through reading her answers and often laugh at the same time. She really pulls no punches.
Second is Query Shark. This blog allows you to actually practice queries and get remarkably honest feedback. Some submissions have been revised 7 or 8 times. It's amazing to see the progression and the excitement when the author actually gets a passing grade.
If you haven't, please check these two sites out. You won't be sorry. I only wish she represented my genre.
