I'm concentrating on my WIP today, so we'll make this short and sweet...
If you've ever wondered about the importance of foreign rights to a writer's career, there's an intriguing and surprising post about that here. AJ Hartley is a USA Today and NYT best-selling author whose savvy agent sold his first book to foreign countries while the US was trying to decide whether or not they even wanted it. I love stories like this that both inspire and teach you a thing or two about the biz.
Also, please join Rachel Harris for an interview with successful YA author, Holly Schindler, who talks about trying her hand at Middle Grade books. Rachel is having a giveaway, so if you like freebies, head over there to have a look.
Hope everyone has a productive Tuesday! I'm off to write.
good luck with the writing and thanks for the heads up! I have wondered about how important are foreign rights before... :D <3
