hey everyone, I’m stepping out of hiding for one brief announcement. I know I’m a bit late with this but…
Debbi Michiko Florence, congrats on your book sale!
SNOOP SAYS:
Whoot! Whoot!
P.S. For those waiting, be on the lookout for a free-tique round soon.
Who deserves a shout-out today? My other treasurable crit buddy Tammi Sauer! She will be participating in Encyclo-Media. This event is huge.
Now hop on over to Tammi’s blog and wish her good luck (or if you’re lazy just leave it here). 🙂
Have a great one, everybody!
SNOOP SAYS:
Bunny hugs for Tam. Four big furry paws coming her way.
You know her as Beb. Bubba. B.
I know her as the woman who just landed a Blooming Tree Press contract for her novel OF ATVS AND ANGELS!
Bev will be coming to an LJ near you. But until that time, feel free to leave your Whoot-Whoots! here.
Bev, as some of you may know, is also my treasured crit partner. (Yes, that’s right. She gets Free-tiques whenever she wants. Everyone, be jealous.)
And get this, I had the honor of taking Bev out to celebrate.
Yes, I think so.
I can no longer keep up with the free-tiquing as I have been. I need to scale back (Snoop says so). However, I’ve become quite fond of working with all of you and I know I can’t give it up entirely. My free-tique rounds will probably be announced more sporadically. Less frequently. Or I may change the format altogether to free up more time for Snoop and myself.
People who have reserved slots, no worries. I will honor those slots.
DOORS ARE CLOSED!!!!!!!!!Â
Before you send anything, read this post in full and carefully (the email address has changed among other things).
I know many of you have been killing to send me stuff already under consideration with agents and editors. SO guess what? I WILL ALLOW IT FOR TRAFFIC COP. Since it’s only a 1/2 page look. You may not send work under contract or published work (DUH!).
Hey everyone (pardon for the interruption again. I’m learning how to use FLICKR. Neat!),
Anyhow, here’s a photo of the “I need an emergency dessert” feast I held a couple of weeks ago. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions and recipes. Just wait until the next party. Oh-la-la!
(Click it to make it big). Anyone hungry?
Now I must get back to work. For reals.
SNOOP SAYS:
Enh. Paper tastes better.
This is why I love Snoop doubly much. Guess what I’m feeding him?
Snoop, you ready?
Get set! Go!
Now how can you beat that? (Click a photo to see a larger version.)
SNOOP SAYS:
BURRRRPPP! Now I must clean up.
P.S. I’m not full yet. Watch for a Traffic Cop Free-tique round today.
Under [submissions->submissions], you’ll find another popular series of articles (Anatomy of a Query Letter, Synopsis, etc.,. You’ll learn everything you could possibly want to know about submitting to editors and agents, down to the WEIGHT of the paper to use and the # of the envelope. These articles are that detailed.

Under [Revision->Revision], you’ll find one of my most popular article series: Revision 9-1-1. These articles help pinpoint common things I notice when I look at works for free-tiques. Maybe reading these posts might save you some time, refresh your memory, or make something “click”.
