In episode 3, Jean reported her progress after having sent out several queries and told us that she had modified her query letter based on a listener suggestion. We also explored the idea of overpolishing one’s work, and Jean admitted that she enjoyed her scenes from the sixties more than the ones based in the present.

Today we hear more about the fate of Jean’s queries, discuss the state of the industry, and hear some advice from Writing Show listeners.

We invite you to offer your feedback on Jean’s work by commenting on our blog and/or writing to Paula B. at paula at writingshow dot com. Or, stop by Jean’s Web site and give her an atta girl.
