For example, anybody who has been following Moonrat for more than a day realizes that she is too nice to be an editor. She's always trying to help people:
And checking to make sure others are doing good deeds:
But there are other photos, other sides of Moonrat.
She likes to dance:
She likes drinking with friends:
And she's the only editor we know who can have a real partay with books:
As an editor, she's helped her readers learn about the publishing industry.
Excerpts from Moonrat's Guide to Getting Published:
1) Your literary talent alone isn't enough for an editor to publish your book --(Moonie)--
So true. You need to have drinking talents and taser talents.
2) Build up your platform while you're writing--(Moonie)--
And adorn it with nice fluffy pillows so you can nap between opening rejection letters.
3) Do get an agent--(Moonie)--
But make sure he or she is potty-trained before bringing him/her back home.
4) Be a fantastic writer--(Moonie)--
Again, so true. Blogging is an increasingly competitive business. Your writing will need to stand out for people to visit you.
