Querying in tie Editprial Memo
Frequent historical inaccuracies:
- Book X is what fantasy readers usually
call low fantasy—it takes place in a real, historical world that has elements of magic that most of the population does not know about.
- In order for the reader to accept the
magical elements, it’s important that the real-world aspects be correct and consistent.
- When a reader stops to think, “Wait,
did photography exist in 1786?” she’s pulled out of the fictional world and might find it very disruptive.

Getuing Paid
With new clients, decide if
you want to get part of your fee up front.
Big companies will not pay
you up front.
Individual clients
(especially repeat clients) tend to pay their bills faster.
When in doubt, be a pain
in the ass.
