Tip of the week

Go to your local bookstore and take your book/manuscript with you. Next, see where on the book shelf would your book be located! Imagine in your mind where the book will sit, next to which author (alphabetically) and in what genre you need to be placed. Would you be in Supernatural Romance? In Adventure SF? These decisions will often make or brake a deal with the agent, because they need to know where in the bookstore your book will be placed and whether or not it can be sold there.
