Query Letters Are...


IWG-ers were asked to complete this sentence, Query letters are...
Here were their responses. 

Query letters are my least favorite short stories.
-Jim Henderson

Query letters are...a necessary evil  or
Query letters are...what the literary Gods invented as punishment for aspiring writers

 -Sandi  Sookoo

Query letters are a stumbling block for an aspiring writer along the path of publication.
Query letters are an introduction of me and my writing to a new business associate, THE EDITOR.
-Ellen Tevault

Query letters are a road block to submitting work.

Query letters are . . . agonizing and the most difficult writing one can do--Ack!

IWG-ers at Indy Book Talk

IWG Members were representin' at this year's Indy Book Talk. IWG's own Debra A. Kemp was on a panel about publication in the afternoon. Debra did an amazing job talking about the struggles she endured to see her book into publication.  Fellow IWG-ers, Ellen Tevault, Sarah Gott and Kate Chaplin where there to cheer her on and spread the word of IWG. 



The Book Talk took
 place at Lawrence High School and had local celebrities, Andy Murphy, Dick Wolfsie,
 Mayor Paul Ricketts and Mayor Greg Ballard in attendance.

Presentations were given 
about all aspects of publication from publicity on the Internet to the "real deal" of a book publication timeline. Th
ere were great interviews and Q&A sessions with well-known and award winning writers, and "mall" featuring a freebie table, booksellers, jewelry sellers, info on Indy Reads and more. 

With a lunch sponsored by Olive Garden, it was a  full, fun
 time had by all. Wonderful to have an IWG-er in the brochure!! Way to go Debs!!
