#RevPit

So last week I submitted the manuscript of The Ember of Change to #RevPit.

It's a great opportunity for professional feedback, assuming my book even makes it past the initial look. I'm taking the opportunity to partake in #RevPitWaiting on Twitter as well where each day we do something else relating to our book. Today was our logline (pitch).

Because I don't think I've posted it here before, here's mine:

When a group of rebels rescue a wizard, they begin an adventure to oust the tyrant who hoards all the world’s magic for himself, but magical assassins, mysterious interlopers, and political schemes threaten their quest.

Tomorrow is a mood board. I've never made a mood board. Finding the right kinds of pictures is proving to be difficult.

Officially Querying

After sitting on The Ember of Change for nearly a year, I opened it back up the other night, made a few last little tweaks, and decided it was time to bite the bullet and see if I could find an agent.

Tonight, I sent out those first two queries after days of research, scrolling Twitter, and getting my wife to proofread everything about twenty times. I'm putting my best foot forward in the hopes that I can find someone who falls in love with these characters as much as I have. Their story and antics have given me so much joy already and I can't wait to share all of that with the world.

I'm also trying to decide about the Brandon Sanderson kickstarter that launched this week. I'm pretty sure I'm buying in at this point, so it's just deciding which level to support.
