By kristinameister August 28, 2019 1 Comment

Hi guys! I hope you’re as excited as I am about the release of Love Under Glasse, the newest volume in my fairy tale retelling series. I like to think I’ve put some creative spin on it, and so far the reviews via Goodreads and websites have been great! If you’re interested in this YA […]

How To Create a Form Query Letter That Won’t Get Automatically Rejected.

How To Create a Form Query Letter That Won’t Get Automatically Rejected.

By kristinameister June 10, 2015 Leave a comment

Agents and editors always seem to reply in form letters. Have you noticed? If not, I’m hoping it’s because you haven’t sent out any queries yet. Good. That means you’ll have read this before making an ironic but critical mistake that many hopeful writers make: creating a form query letter that you believe will be universal, but will […]

Do We Still Need Grammar?: Form and Function For the New Writer

By kristinameister March 11, 2015 Leave a comment

This is a topic with many layers, and I’m sure that some people will argue with me, but that’s fine. Hear me out. We writers live in an altered head-space. There’s this whole other world in which we dwell where the function of a piece is more often the goal, and the form can just […]

By kristinameister February 28, 2013 3 Comments

As I’ve said in previous entries, I seem to have been designated an unofficial arguer for the use of modern technology in the publishing industry, just by virtue of how many times I have either been paid to help someone set up their Twitter account, or by the number of times I have had to […]

There Is No Try: Why Writers Fail

By kristinameister February 24, 2013 Leave a comment

Since the San Francisco Writer’s Conference (something that always gets me thinking about my writing process) I’ve been considering the intellectual side of writing as a profession. How can an author go from a hobbyist that happens to get an occasional review or fanmail, to someone making a living at producing literature? It’s a very critical […]

Interfacing with Technology: Using Technology to help your Writing Succeed

By kristinameister February 19, 2013 6 Comments

It seems like every time I go to a publishing event, I end up having at least three versions of the same conversation about the use of technology in the world of writing. This is probably due to the fact that my smartphone is glued to my hand; either that or my pact with the […]
