It’s quirkily written with lots of jokes, but don’t let that fool you: Delilah S. Dawson’s Terrible Minds guest post, “25 Steps to Being a Traditionally Published Author: Lazy Bastard Edition,” is thorough, professional, and extremely helpful.
From advice to read a lot to drafting hints to help deciphering the correspondence of agents and editors, it’s all there.
Though Dawson mainly writes paranormal romance, her rules are a must-read for emerging writers in any genre.
