I’m juggling illness, deadlines and more deadlines this week, so I direct you over to Buried in the Slushpile this week.
In addition to a post about the important qualities of the one page summary, there’s a writing prompt for summaries at the Get Me Out of the Slush Pile! forum, this week only. Go and look at the way other people write their summaries, view the feedback and participate.
There’s even a summary contest, where an eyecatching midgrade or YA winner will get a full manuscript requested. If your writing isn’t midgrade or YA, don’t let that stop you from going over and browsing the entries — there’s still a lot to learn from seeing how other people do it, and what sorts of responses they get.
