 NEW WRITER FROM CANADA FINDS OPEN DOOR TO

U.S. PUBLISHERS AND AGENTS

Uses New E-Mail Query Approach to Get Through

Usually Locked Doors in Publishing and the Film Industry

Usually, big publishers, major agents, and film producers are closed to new writers unless represented or already successful, especially from outside the U.S.  But one Canadian writer, Dale Mayer from British Columbia in Canada, has joined a growing number of new writers in seeking to pitch her new steamy and suspenseful novel, Perfect Partners, and her thriller screenplay about a revenge-seeking cop Road to Redemption to producers and production companies. The result?  Dozens of responses from book and film industry pros seeking to see her material, and her projects are now under consideration by over eighteen book editors, agents, and producers/prodcos.  So now she can focus on rewriting her second novel and her new non-fictional inspirational self-help book.

As Dale and many other authors have found, the use of e-mail queries is fast replacing the usual letter and SASE approach for contacting editors, publishers, and agents.  Now writers with a powerful novel, script, or nonfiction book can pitch it themselves and get responses within hours, or more typically in one to two days.  Making this an efficient way to connect, saving valuable time for the industry and the writers.

              To help them do this, PublishersAndAgents.net and it’s affiliate site: ScreenplayWritersConnection.com is using a new group mail and database technology to make the connections within a few minutes.  And generally, the response has been highly favorable.  As Dale has found, many of the replies were been both positive and informative.  Several of those emailed that couldn’t use her novel offered suggestions for other places where it might be well received.  She even received several invitations to submit a proposal on her non-fiction book that’s in progress.  The key is having a strong subject line that quickly lets the editor or producer know what’s in the e-mail, so they know it’s not spam, but a subject they want to really know more about. 

Launched in September, the company now has about two dozen clients who have made connections.  And some have posted their results on the site.  Just go to “Kudos” to see their comments, along with others from industry pros.
