Could we reduces it to three? If there are three authors and three guest then that's three authors speaking to nine people. I would think that was enough of a...
All I have a question before I cast my vote. What process would be used to determine which 3 of the 6 authors are retained? Thanks Mike Rushnak TERMINAL...
I wasn't thinking of reducing the number of authors, I believe six is about right (it needs to be a special occasion). I've had a lot of feedback about the...

Sorry if I confused people I picked out three authors as an easy number to visualize. Say six authors bring 3 people each it is still a crowd. cmr Chris...
I am much more likely to be able to manage three people than six. I would also be more comfortable with it being a goal, rather than a requirement. We can...

IF there there is a quota on the number of guests committed, I agree that three is more realistic. I know of one person who decided not to get involved in the...
Thanks for the input, Eileen. Like I said before, though well-intended, I suspect the six guest rule does more harm than good. Best laid plans and all that...

Thanks to all those who took part in the poll. A clear majority of those who felt strongly enough about the 'six guest' rule to cast a vote, want it gone, so...

I've never seen or heard a respected literary agent recommend that a passage from the book should be inserted into a query letter. When you say 'the formula...
I'm just curious. Why include a dramatic passage in the query letter? I thought the point of the query letter is to offer a potential agent the basic facts...

Now that we've voted off the 'six guest' rule, why not review your entries in the 'available for signings' links. If you're thinking about organising a...
