At last came the first ... Panorama

Probably when you read what I report below takes you to ask yourselves: why a graduate of the entry form? Very simple. I think that to get to see published some day one of my novels, previously should receive an initial rejection. This, As you will then, as has occurred ..., so the first requirement for getting to see my published work is completed. I am already prepared ...

As if it were a rude awakening this past Wednesday I received the news that one of the two agencies literary response than I expected, more specifically "Bookbank" had chosen not to represent "Vendetta."

To be honest, I have to say that for a few minutes remained slightly stunned, as though, obviously, expect that there could be a negative response, the illusion that accompanied me from the moment you contact the agency, had made yours in my state of mind. The blow was hard, and itching, I can garantizároslo, I drive all day.

After five minutes after being aware of that first serious rejection, I decided to send an email to the agency to acknowledge the time spent my work - because as I stated in a previous post, you must always be polite - and, in turn, I asked them to indicate to me, so sincere, they considered improvable aspects of the text sent to work that way correct it. Ten minutes later I got the answer that you transcribe literally:
"I never do reviews because it would mean losing a lot of time I have not.
What if I have to tell you is that I hesitated rather than the original. Perhaps in other times they have been represented, but right now all publishers have lowered a lot the number of publications and placed very few works.

Try different agencies ... the novel is good.

compliments "

will have to keep trying, at least it seems that the text is not bad at all, and this is what I intend to stay for the whole experience.

other hand, my second novel that will feature the same protagonist of "Vendetta" I can reveal that deals with a strange relic, that after the reconquest of Jaén by Ferdinand III to the Arabs, is discovered by three Knights Templar in crypt located beneath the walls of a mosque that existed in the same place where today stands the majestic Cathedral of Jaén, and a secret society responsible for protecting the same during the passage of centuries. The novel travels and by page 132, that is why my average initially planned for 60 pages a month, now, becomes coated with a vengeance.

current literature. ALL MACHINE

input this week I will dedicate it to a successful article in the newspaper Las Provincias on 18/10/2008. This article was written by a "forera" Virtual Library which is Malube Nick, but his real name, which will surely soon begin to prove family is that of Marta Querol. Martha was a novel writer who, like many of us, he was on the hunt to attract the attention of an editor or literary agent. Last year chose to present his first novel, The End of the Phoenix, the Premio Planeta, and coincidences of life, but above all, literary quality, the work of Marta was a finalist.

I still I could only read the first chapter, which you can download at the following address: http://www.editorialcenturione.com/el-final-del-ave-fenix.html ; but try to get it as soon as I can, not in vain like a good book for the holidays that are approaching us.

The article I attached below is quite enlightening, do not miss it.

"We finally revealed the worst kept secret in English literature: the Metro Award winners this year. And as usual, no surprise. The day before there was talk of them. It is known that the editorial on the safe bet, and it is not surprising considering the money you invest in that event, between the endowment and the associated costs. From now on, the two winning books will sell like hotcakes, and the authors will travel television, radio and newspapers filled pages, becoming part of that pantheon of writers selling in the names included in the that now same, you are pensando.Es an event that clearly reflects the current literary scene. Two well-known authors with a certain name are strengthened and eight unpublished or published works are few left with the illusion that what they serve at least to get published and out of anonymity. Maybe they get it, but the road is hard, however good their work. There is nothing new. It occurs in all cultural fields and was not going to be different. They are always the top and bottom. Started has never been easy, and anecdotes from Jane Austin to JK Rowling, to Proust or Hemingway, over the years it took to get someone to trust them enough to publish their works.

And, if printing for the first time was hard, today is nothing short of a miracle. If I ask you to think about what was the last I read, eight out of ten they will come to mind a title and an author of the best known. Names of writers who have become media stars, whose initial print runs are around five hundred thousand, seven hundred fifty thousand or even a million copies in Spain alone.

If they can put on the market these amounts, it is logical to think that the publishing market has patriotic good health and that people read up at stoplights. Lara was confirmed this week saying that the sector has been affected by the crisis. Must be unique. Post should be easy, then. But if you're not one of "them", it gets black.

that analogy, the current literary scene is like a huge elastic and airtight jar, which can be "inflated" from the inside out, endless baiting that went long ago, but remains sealed for any new attempt to enter it. How the grapes are put into liquor and continue to grow, lush.

If ever you open the jar is to let some "grape" in another jar near a presenter, actor, singer, athlete ... he decides to capture their experiences on paper preceded by his fame in another field. Not matter if you write good, bad or not write. A new author, however, it will be a superhuman task to enter, and if successful will go to the bottom, buried for the rest of those already. His books just peep in a corner on the shelves of bookshops crammed with titles.

is that publishers do not give the "no" from the beginning. They prefer to entertain their excited candidates with a "maybe", since every writer is ultimately a reader, and therefore a client who must be cared for and educated lay off with a sentence. Besides, who knows if tomorrow it becomes a phenomenon and we must rescue him.

Something similar happens with literary agents, and write in the feminine because the majority are women. These more direct and very professional publishers, report unceremoniously but very politely, that in the next hundred years there's going to play with no new author. Not the answer from all, of course, but six out of ten, and not many officers. I imagine that the four or five remain and they still hope to discover some unknown talent must be willing manuscripts buried under writers, who use them as their last hope to get to see their work published before taking the harakiri with desktop publishing.

options are "extreme" to publish, as he joked with Paco, a writer friend. The latter include entering Big Brother, telling it to mess with someone famous in the program then fashion pink silicone prosthesis placed two and a half a kilo to Yola Berrocal and be the cover of Interviu with a suggestive title to " Two volumes to discover. " With that you will almost certainly publish. But those who want to reach real writers, of all life, do not use it.

In fact, the only possible solution for those who want to be a writer, is working, write, work stress and more. Hopefully there is still a generous and enlightened editor decides to gamble with these strangers to uncover something new, but it plays. Never be grateful enough. "

.... Readers

A continuous flat out preparing my second novel.

When early in the month of May began to translate the computer screen on the first words of what will be my second book, I decided to mark me as a goal to reach sixty pages a month. This ambitious goal, at least for me, because the time available, with two girls at home to attend to, is quite low, was exceeded along the first month that I could reach seventy pages. June is not wearing anything wrong, because yesterday I was with five sheets above the mean originally planned. Doing accounts in a month and a half failed to reach the one hundred four pages of which is my second novel.

I guess the fact that it is encouraging that creative, I reiterate, always from my point of view, is fundamentally with that from the beginning, the plot of the novel had already been drawn in my head, and Since then, I have just put myself in front of the computer keyboard and begin to shape the story that seems to continuously boil my brains. In fact, just comienzo un nuevo capítulo, cuando mi mente ya ha previsto el siguiente, e, incluso, dispone de alguna sub-trama que poder desarrollar más adelante. Siento como si fuera capaz de prolongar el texto el tiempo que desease, o finalizarlo cuando más me apeteciera; aprecio que es mi imaginación quien domina la historia a su antojo, y que esta fluye como un continuo manantial que parece lejos de agotarse. Espero y deseo que todo continúe con la fluidez y cadencia que hasta la fecha me ha acompañado.

Si el desarrollo de mi segunda novela progresa a toda máquina, las noticias de las dos agencias que me solicitaron “Vendetta” continúan anquilosadas in time, such that snails in day out. Finally, suppose that the publishing world is so slow, slow ...

Finally, tell you that last Thursday, and after reading the synopsis I sent them on "Vendetta", a newly established editorial asked me to refer to them original text for evaluation. Following the referral, responded with an e-mail thanking me for the referral of the text and requested patience ... patience ...

paid, anonymous people who decide on our future Two

Looking for news, here and there, in that fabulous machine hoarding of information that is Google , ran stumbled upon an article about payroll readers who have publishers.

Undoubtedly, the description of them was made could not be more correct:
" pay little, earn daily enemies, work in anonymity, however, are primarily responsible for loading the shelves of good texts bookshops. Readers of the editorial are the cross of the coin, whose face is literary critics. "

Their work can not be more complete, because after reviewing the manuscript received, made a brief report summarizing the argument in the text, then assess the literary quality of it and then, it will comprise a genre, scored his originality and sites within the editorial line of the company. It is therefore key before sending a text, the aspiring writer needs to know the collections and the market targeted by the editorial are trying to seduce. If the report is positive, enter into a process of cross-readings to exchange opinions and, finally, the editor will decide whether he reads the text.

"I can interest a reader who read poorly because I directed," says editor Debate CB, for whom the editor-reader line is the key. Still, many manuscripts are discarded after a biased reading. With twenty or thirty pages well you can tell the quality of the text that has come to the editorial.
However, there are many who are wary of publishing, and once there are many stories to discredit the thankless job of readers. Games late in life, Luis Landeros, was rejected several times before reaching his deserved fame. Not to mention the path followed by One Hundred Years of Solitude. Because, apart from readers, these professionals are human and, as such, can make mistakes. It's more morbid, and easier, count the bugs that hit. "When I was naive, he gave a copy of the reports to the writers," says JH, editor of Language of Cloth, "but los lectores lo sabían y los escribían con menos frescura".

En dicho artículo, que como podéis comprobar no carece de desperdicio alguno, se comenta, a su vez que:
“hacia los años setenta, la escritora Marguerite Durás mandó a su editor francés una novela que él mismo había publicado años atrás. Durás había cambiado el título y firmaba con seudónimo. La novela fué rechazada. También a Doris Lessing le fue devuelta una novela con seudónimo. Inmediatamente después de reconocer su autoría, el libro salió a la venta. Aunque la mayoría de editores reconocen mirar los datos del escritor, tanto por cazar talentos como por asegurar ventas, readers avoid hacerlo.Los manuscripts submitted are always accompanied by a letter writer in four lines should occur. It is now fashionable to send a photo with the manuscript and signed with a pseudonym. "There are writers who submitted manuscripts to the covers full of cartoons and stuff. Only you know if the presentation contains nonsense or literature," says CBEQ, reading five books, recalls a letter detailing the applicant's mother's depression in which her son had sunk because of the novel. To avoid such pressures, as well as cronyism and reprisals, that has been, "the editorial screeners often work anonymously.

About a month after receiving the work, the answer to the impatient editor writer. Three things can happen: the first is that the novel is politely refused. RR, which apart from being a reader has just published his third novel, The Omega formula says: "I hate rejection letters that begin:" Regardless of the quality of the work ... "I received a lot and I always thought: Damn!, then, what it is, if not exactly of the quality of the work? ". The editors know they are full of enthusiasm rejecting projects, so try to be subtle. The second, somewhat more complicated, it is decided not to publish the novel, but they show a sincere interest in an author yet mature green promises. The third, distant and dreamlike, is that a lot of months after publication of the work. It is also possible that the editor to make some changes in the novel, although the last word always rests with the author. On the other hand, there are publishers who promote desktop publishing and say that they also have a committee of readers. It is usually false, but the writer prefers to believe it pays.

Spain leads the world in terms of book production. About fifty thousand new titles now in our stores annually. Of this amount, ten thousand are literary. Not that each publisher publishes many books but there are many publishers in Spain and is difficult for a good deed goes unnoticed. Who believes that the four biggest names in the account for most of the peninsula is a publication error. Indeed, the whole project as a writer should point to major publishers, but discarded them, we must lower our standards. Many so-called revelation authors were first rejected by the priests of the issue, but backed by small entrepreneurs scene. An example is Juan Manuel de Prada, Juan Antonio Alamo or Bonilla.

The number of books gives us an idea of \u200b\u200bthe books rejected. For example, about four novels received annually by an editorial, published about fifty. To select the works they have seen the light, eyelashes, readers are more than burned. At present, MAL, translator, critic and reader, has left the manuscripts because "I think we should rest to keep their own reference." EQ is recycled in another way, "reads a lot of crap. To keep the test, reread my classics from time to time."

A chilling story to the novel is the rumor that Patrick Suskind wrote his own novel based on the idea of \u200b\u200ba rejected writer, was born the perfume. Distrust of other writers and other monsters about literature is unusual among the applicants. To avoid many send their manuscripts by the copyright and even to the very contract ready for signing. For most readers this is a fantasy writer's own frustrated. RR's words are striking: "I hate the perversion of reasoning that leads to thinking, as I do not ignore, a sign that I am a genius." Nothing could be further from reality. "

lime and sand ...

Good again.

Throughout the week just passed, and with it the month of May, I have two good news to offer, and one that, if is observed coldly, just * might be categorized as regular, it is not even bad at all, hence the post title.

* (I remind you that the adverb alone and never emphasizes)

I personally have always preferred to leave for the final good, which is why I want to start with the new received less reward that has meant for you I write.

Last Wednesday, as usual I often do when the noon is approaching, I decided to read the e-mails received. Among the many trash that often slip through the firewall, I could distinguish an email sent by an editorial, will understand that as I ignore her name, which was about a month, had sent a synopsis of "Vendetta", and a brief description of the characters that compose it. Because they had not yet sent any copies of the work, the typical bubbles tend to cherish our stomach when we feel next emotion, not even showed up, then analyzing it seriously, the only decisions that could carry out editorial after reviewing the brief synopsis and character descriptions provided, are:

a) Request a copy of the work to carry out a review more thorough.

b) Reject the text using one of the excuses of roughly cast available.

is obvious that if we are to the news arena, the option you chose was the second editorial, saying: "We carried out an assessment possible publication and we have to inform you that we do not see the possibility of to publish in our catalog today. " Perhaps you will think that is bad news, but for me it is not so, once, but actually is a missed opportunity, "rejection" has been carried out without even reading the play.

Moral: Those situations are very common and will be in the absence of a literary agent, hence the importance of having an agency to represent you.

The biggest news, and of which I recorded last Tuesday (maybe that's why I took it with good humor as detailed previously rejected), I was provided by part of a major Literary Agency, after sending the synopsis and two chapters of "Vendetta", I have asked them to mail the book with the intention of assessing the possible representation of it. A few months in which to live with the illusion, because in times of crisis, we must go after the quotes, and dream, dear friends, to dream is completely free.

The other good news that I had to give away, past the excellent pace is picking up the new novel I am writing. I remember I started with it in early May, and yesterday it had reached page seventy-two, with the little time available, it is "feat." At this rate, in four or five months the settlement, then to review and refine.

I'll tell you ...
