Started watching the "White Noise" based on the novel by Don DeLillo. Stopped to post this as a trigger warning for people who've been involved in crashes with cars. If I hadn't had really good EMDR that worked for me I'd be a mess right now.

“An adaptation of Kirk Wallace Johnson’s bestselling The Feather Thief: Beauty, Obsession, and the Natural History Heist of the Century is in the works for the small screen.”
I very much enjoyed this book so I am curious to see the film adaptation.

@geekaren @bookstodon I know I always talk about this book, but WHEN YOU REACH ME by ... feels like gorgeous historical middle grade set in the 1970s but is actually stealth

Know your story but make sure you can communicate it. Why do the characters and themes matter to you? Authenticity from this pov means specificity. And those things will make your story easier to sell/market/pitch.

Knowing the conflict can help a lot with the summary and condensing the story into a pitch. Usually when it's hard to summarize it's because that part is missing/weak. Why should the reader care? What are the stakes?

Brace yourself for this one They say it takes 30secs or less for a reader to decide if they want to read a story! 😳 Which means the one line elevator pitch and summary/blurb are crucial.

They say they're not necessarily looking for the best written story. What interests them more is the concept and reception from readers/fanbase. They're also big on the elevator pitch.
