I had a client cancellation, so I am now OPEN to 48-hour query critiques and synopsis critiques!
I would love to help you tell your story and sell your story.

@NHNovelist Ugh. I once posted a list of the junk on my bed and a friend replied that in HER family, there was NO KID STUFF IN THE PARENTS' ROOM and I still think about that. My kids were 3 and infant at the time. One was still sleeping in the parents' room. 😂

@meleahvallie That's adorable!

[Laura Lee Anderson @LLAWrites]

@NHNovelist Totally making me cry right now. Beautiful.

[Laura Lee Anderson @LLAWrites]

@christebbetts You are ENTIRELY too kind. ☺️

[Laura Lee Anderson @LLAWrites]

@Jessicawhippl17 Yay! Congratulations on your recent successes!

[Laura Lee Anderson @LLAWrites]

Hot take:
You don't break into the acting industry solely by being a good actor. You break in by being a good auditioner.
Similarly!
You don't break into traditional publishing solely by being a good novelist. You break in by writing a good query.

[Laura Lee Anderson @LLAWrites]

Hot take: Queries are not a necessary evil. They are a chance to show off a skill you'll need for the rest of your writing career.

@christebbetts @HighlightsFound I can't tell you how often I think of your advice. I'm journaling a first draft in the mornings, and I keep telling myself that even one sentence is better than nothing. One foot in front of the other. ❤️

[Laura Lee Anderson @LLAWrites]

It's not an understatement to say that a @HighlightsFound writing workshop with @christebbetts changed my life in the best of ways. The price is a steal, the weekend is Jan 8-9. Perfect if your NY resolution is to start querying.

@carolinetc *disclaimer* I was not the Laura in this situation. 😁

[Laura Lee Anderson @LLAWrites]

@NHNovelist I'm so sorry.

[Laura Lee Anderson @LLAWrites]

5) Listens a lot. Openly admits writing full-length novels is not happening right now. Wistfully pipe dreams about Nanowrimo.

[Laura Lee Anderson @LLAWrites]

@NHNovelist I am so sorry. Sending love.

[Laura Lee Anderson @LLAWrites]

Currently closed to new clients. I'll see you in 2022!
