Directions!

BEFORE you send your first 250 words to First Page Shooter, please read these directions.

1. Read how First Page Shooter Works.

2. Think about some of your favorite novels (ones comparable in genre to your own project) and make notes on what worked for those first pages.

3. Revise and polish.

4. When you send the email to firstpageshooter@gmail.com make sure you include:
a. word count
b. title
c. contact info (I'll redact this but get in the habit of including it)

5. Do not send your pages as an attachment. I will discard those unread, and unacknowledged. Please paste them into the body of the email.

6. After you've read and followed these directions you'll know to put "First Page Shooter" in the subject line. Nothing else :)

Comments!

Feel free to comment and add your own thoughts to First Page Shooter posts. Just keep in mind negative comments like "lame" or "I would never read this" will be deleted.

Also, please keep your comments on topic and about the post. Comments about how Joanna or I should be blogging tend to make us grouchy.
