Day 3 - Item 4

A query critique from Meredith Barnes at Fineprint Literary Management*

FinePrint Literary Management has been unable to rid themselves of Meredith since her arrival in January 2010. Parties have reached a gentlemanly agreement wherein it is specified, among other things, that Meredith sit as far away from the front door as possible. As it would happen, this is part of Janet Reid's agreement as well.

Meredith is not acquiring clients. She reads good writing, both fiction and non, and hawks the outstanding on Janet. Especially appealing are thrillers with worldwide stakes, quirky literary fiction, and characters that she wishes were real. Narrative nonfiction with a new story to tell and the requisite platform (yeah, yeah) is always welcome.

Convinced that technology is vital to the future of publishing, but also recognizing that it is scary and has sharp teeth, Meredith started La Vie en Prose to provide some perspective on the matter.

*Not that we at Write Hope want to put ideas into bidders' heads, but did you see Meredith's 30 minute Skype chat? Hmm, combine that with a query critique from Meredith, and you'd be able to discuss your query/manuscript at length. Is that not the height of awesome??? (Please note, to do this, you'd need to bid on AND win both items, as they are not automatically a package deal. Just to help out, we've extended the closing date for the 30 minute Skype chat with Meredith until March 26th, 12PM EDT)

Bidding is open until March 26th, 12PM EDT.
