WHAT?

 

It’s the Monthly Blog Hop for the Insecure Writers Support Group founded by Alex J. Cavanaugh. 

The first Wednesday of every month, an optional question is announced that members can answer in their IWSG post. These questions may prompt you to share advice, insight, a personal experience, or even a story. Include your answer to the question in your IWSG post. Remember, the question optional.  

                  Be sure to visit the Insecure Writer’s Support Group Website.

                        Let’s rock the neurotic writing world!

The awesome co-hosts for the July 1 posting of the IWSG are Rebecca Douglass, Ronel Janse van Vuuren, Cathrina Constantine, and Jacqui Murray!

 

July 1 question - Is there anything you'd like to see changed, added, and/or rearranged about the book publishing industry? 

Anyone who has queried their manuscript... 

Or other writings to an agent, publisher, or wherever... 

Can tell you it can be a long and arduous journey...

And, more often than not...

You'll get either a quick decline with no explanation...

Or there’s no response after months of waiting... 

And you’re left wondering—WHAT?

What didn’t they like?

So, to answer today’s question...

If I could add something to the publishing industry...

It would be new technology for responding to queries called...

SPECIAL AGENT GLASSES 

They would work like this:

An agent would wear the glasses while reading a submission... 

Their thoughts about the submission would transfer to the temple part of the glasses...

And because the temple part of the glasses is by your temple (close enough to the brain)...

The agent’s thoughts would be transmitted via some new technology...

And sent back to the writer’s email submission...

With an answer or decision...

But before the agent’s thoughts were actually sent...

An AI Sensitivity Program would have captured the agent’s thoughts...

And edited them into a helpful response to the writer... 

So they’d know exactly what the agent was thinking about when reviewing their query or submission package...

And this would be done within minutes...

Not days, weeks, months…and sometime never.

Agents workload would decrease and they'd be happy...

And writers would be ecstatic for knowing WHAT.

It'd be a win/win situation.

Yeah, I know it’s not possible now...

But who knows the future, right?

Thoughts?

Hey Meta…let’s talk.

 

Always,
