This guy got his novel published by
Soft Skull Press after 61 rejections, which he gets to write about in this
Huffington Post article
. He says you only get one sentence to compel the agent/editor. He says the formula is: "Show economy. be precise. hook." I like those rules because they are good guides that can be broken, as long as you know you're breaking rules and doing it well.

I'm shooting for 62.
Can you take out that picture? I love reading your blog but I'm so disturbed by it. Tell me it's fake blood and a fake injury. That would be an awful awful way to injure somebody's face!!
It's photoshopped from a stock art place. Sorry to disturb. I agree, it's a little extra violent for this blog.
