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.
