Writing Advice: It's not one size fits all.

note: I started drafting this post back in March, when I was knee-deep in the query trenches. I finished it up today.

I hate giving writing advice.

Why? Well, because, just like anything else in life,
the path to publication is not simple, nor is it easy.

There are as many different paths as there are individual writers.

There are people who write one book, send fifteen queries, sign with a powerhouse agent, and eventually end up with multimillion dollar book, movie, and merchandise deals.

There are people who write nine books and finally snag an agent and huge deal with their tenth.

There are people who send hundreds of queries and revise and resubmits before finding an agent to represent and sell one wonderful novel.

You can find your agent with a query, by referral, during an online conference, through a contest, or via ninja agent ambush.

A book may be on submission for two days before selling, or sit there for ten months.

Generalized writing advice can be useless and demoralizing because writing is so closely tied to who we are. And if the writing advice I give contradicts with someone's experience, the message they get (and the message I have so often gotten) is that they are doing something wrong, that they are missing some crucial piece of "how-to" that they should have picked up on a long time ago.

Summer Berries
Ripe berries and green, all on the same branch.
Metaphor KAPOW.

Back in March, when I had sent a couple hundred queries, received almost as many form rejections, revised two novels dozens of times, been in more contests than I could count on my hands, diligently spent every spare moment working on my craft, and gotten the thumbs up from over a dozen (yes, a DOZEN) readers, if you had given me cliched, platitudinal writing advice like "never give up!" or "keep working hard!" or "believe in yourself!" I would have seriously had to restrain myself to avoid punching you.

This is when straight-up inspirational talk and advice is tough to deal with for a lot of writers.

They (we) know that it's not just a matter of "never giving up," "believing in your work," or "writing something awesome."
They (we)  know it because they've been living it for months, sometimes years.
They (we)  know it because we have a drawer full of manuscripts that we poured our souls into, that we loved, that we thought was the One. (It wasn't. It's getting harder to believe that this one will be.)


But what's even worse - what I hate with every fiber of my being - is the attitude that there is a hierarchy of writing skill that exists in this little community of ours.
Often, I see advice that goes something like this: "Keep working on your writing, and eventually you will come up with something good enough to catch an agent's attention."

Let's just think about that for a second. This seems to suggest that there is some qualifiable level of writing skill that you can attain which, when submitted to an agent's eyes, will magically lift the blinders to Bad Writing or Sub-Par Writing or Non-Awesome Writing, and they will then behold the book, and declare it good, and sign the writer, and submit it to editors, where the process will begin all over again. (Is there a writing skill purgatory, I wonder, for the work that was awesome enough to get an agent but not quite awesome enough to get an editor? Hmm?)

In case my sarcasm isn't one hundred percent obvious, let me be clear: Publishing is a subjective business. What one agent thinks is awesome could look like fire kindling to another. What one agent reads in twelve hours and offers on immediately thereafter could be the same manuscript that garnered 95 form rejections. (Yes, that's my sweet superhero novel, One.)


There is no such thing as a level of writing awesomeness that is worthy of agent or publisher attention. No, there really isn't.


And, if that level doesn't exist, then a simple way to get there doesn't either.


So, why does it bother me when I hear people giving advice that suggests that that level does exist?


Because it makes fellow writers feel bad. And that is not cool.
Not. Cool. At. All.


Listen. The MS that attracted my (very impressive) agent received 89 form rejections before I signed on the dotted line. It's gotten six more in the six weeks since then.

Now, maybe to you that means that I haven't worked hard enough on my craft, that my query letter sucked, that I didn't believe in myself enough, that the story was not marketable, or that my writing just wasn't up to par.

But if you met me, if you read my manuscript, if you knew that it was an in-demand genre and free of YA cliches, if you'd been with me through every grueling step of the process, would you still say those things?

I'll tell you right now - No. You would not.


So, listen, writers. If you take anything away from reading my blog, let it be this. When you finally, gloriously leave the query trenches, however you manage it, to Agentland, or better yet, move from Agentland to Publisheddom, do me a favor. Don't offer advice on how to get there based on your individual path. That path was yours and yours alone, and implying that others are doing it wrong because theirs isn't similar enough is just bad form


Yes. Bad form.

For those of you in the Querying Trenches or Submission Hell (here! have a cookie!), here is what I have to say to you.

I'm sorry. It sucks. I hope that you're able to find a way to make that part of the journey translate into something awesome for the more fun parts.

Will you get an agent? I don't know.
Will you ever publish? I have no clue.
Will the worry and stress and grief tear you apart? Will your writing get worse? Will you fall into an inescapable black hole of suckitude?
I don't know. I'm not you.
But I am here to listen, and to commiserate, and to celebrate with you when things work out the way you want them to. 
And I think that's probably what we all really need most.

  3. This. Thiiiiiis. I'm going to blog about your blog now.

    This is so important. I know we already talked about this, but I think sometimes when people leave the query trenches (and sub trenches? Either or) they forget what it's like to see that advice floating around. Or they weren't in the trenches long enough to hit that devastatingly low point, and they don't know what it feels like to get that sort of advice and feel like utter crap.

    1. Thanks, Chess. And, yeah. "Devastatingly low" and "utter crap" is right.

  4. BOOYAH!!!!

    The cold, hard truth is that there is just no telling what will please someone in this business and what won't. We've all read books that others raved about and we hated, and vice versa. So much of publishing is opinion and preference and there's no way to be right or wrong about that part of it - only lucky. The rest is hard work and dedication and sometimes even that's not enough.

    And the next t-shirt I send you is definitely going to have a troll on it.

  10. This is something I could and probably need to read each and every day. This needed to be said so badly. As an self-described anal-retentive OCD individual, I innately crave a "how-to to publishing" guide, advice, etc., but the rational, non-crazy part of myself knows there is no ONE way to the publishing glory land. This should be REQUIRED reading for all writers no matter what part of the journey they're on. I bow to your wisdom and fantabulousness.

    I have been in the query trenches for...over two years now. Wow! It's been that long? And I'm working on my third ms, hoping this is the one. I love how you said it's all so subjective. And I agree, many act as though they believe there's this level of awesomeness in our world. If you're simply an un-agented writer, you're on that lower level, but then once you've signed with an agent, all of a sudden you're worthy of advancement and others listen to your writing advice. More so to the published writer. This fascinates me because only a month earlier, that agented writer was not agented. I see this a lot on writing forums.

    I wrote a blog post a couple months ago, telling writers that if they keep on keeping on, they'll land an agent. That it's simply perseverance. Yeah, that was when I had two fulls out and I had figured my perseverance was the reason. And then those fulls turned into rejections, pushing me back in the query trenches and smacking me in the face with the whole, perseverance thing. So thanks for this post! I needed to hear it!

  19. Thanks so much, Leigh Ann. I really need to read this right now. It's so hard to want to keep trying when everything I read make me feel like I've already failed. I look back at my first draft & I actually believe that in some ways it was better because I wrote it before I read all the "thou shalt nots" of writing. It's so hard to get those ideas out of your head once they're in there.

    Ok. Deep breaths. Finish this read through. Send to readers. Get back to my WiP(s). Keep. Writing.

    One of the most infuriating attitudes in the writing community to me is when people basically say, "This is how it worked for me, therefore it should work that way for you." And because of that, I used to think that those lightning-fast success stories were the norm. I've been doing R&Rs with the same agent for a year now, and sometimes hearing those success stories makes me worry about the fact that I haven't gotten to 'yes' just yet. But then I remember that no matter what, I'm getting some amazing advice and critiques from an equally amazing agent, and that's going to lead to wonderful things, even if I don't know what those things are just yet.

    Thanks for the reminder that the long way around is a valid one, too. :)

  23. Great post. The change in font size was interesting :)
    I've been polishing my query letter for years - complicated as writing a novel is,condensing it into an interesting pitch/summary is even more so. My best advice is ask many different trustworthy writers for input. Eventually, if you have a good story, it will work.

    Take care,

  24. You know what -- this is the perfect post. Extremely honest and true. When you're in the trenches, platitudes don't help because you could be one of those (many) writers who would never get an agent, never get published. All the advice I've received are well-meaning, and I appreciate them. But they don't work for everybody. :)

And I will bookmark this blog to remember, I can't compare myself to others. Not to allow my "newbie" status to let others tell me which path to take. To remember, it may take a long time...but that is my path. Not theirs.

  34. I LOVE this post.

    And it's so true. Not every writer is going to have the same experiences and there is not a right way to do anything, especially when it comes to writing a book and querying it. If it were as simple as taking one writer's advice and following it to the letter, then maybe every writer would find agents and get book deals. Since it's not like that, all a writer can do is write the book they want to write the best way they can, query it, and never give up even if you send out a hundred queries and get a lot of rejections in return.

    Thanks for sharing this post. This will be nice to read when I get to the querying stage. :)

  37. As always, awesome post :) Subjectivity is one of the best things about writing because after a flood of rejections, that one request or those few words of encouragement can mean the world. I got about 90 rejections on my first manuscript, and while I'm a naturally optimistic person, I couldn't help feeling pretty defeated sometimes. This is definitely something querying writers need to hear.

Some get so discouraged they never even make it to the submission phase!

  39. I've mostly ignored advice online on the path to getting an agent (beyond the querying basics, that is), so I haven't had the issue of conflicting advice. But... as a hugely optimistic person with a good amount of confidence in my writing (buoyed by many positive CP reviews), I'd sort of thought I'd be one of those people who got a bunch of interest and an agent off of fifteen or twenty queries. Well, fifteen or twenty was some while ago, and I've only had one nibble so far. It's hard not to start feeling beat down when your stats look like that, optimistic or not. I'm sure you can relate. You and your success so far have been a huge inspiration to me in helping me keep my head up. Thank you for this post - these are the best sort of encouragement/inspiration posts, a reminder that we all take different paths and a huge pile of rejections doesn't mean someone's on the wrong one.

    Much of the success in this industry has to do with timing and luck. And I believe you create your own luck with hard work and determination. I wish Publishers Marketplace would put up stats alongside all of its deals.

    After 300 rejections from agents, 58 rejections from editors, "Pony Palace" a debut novel, has sold in a very nice deal to an exhausted author...finally.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Wow... that is a fantastic post. (Saw this via Jennifer Laughran's equally fantastic post.)

    I am deep in the query trenches with my third book and have amassed exactly 175 rejections between all of them, if I count no responses (thank you, Query Tracker, those are such good stats to have at my fingertips, ugh). I very much feel like punching people who spout the platitudes you mentioned.

    BUT... I've finally figured out how to do this. As you said, I have a manuscript that's marketable, the writing is good, and it's free of cliches. I just haven't found the agent yet. So thanks for the reaffirming words :-)

  50. awesome post Leigh Ann! I'd like to think that people saying this is how it worked for me, do it my way, are just trying to be helpful. But like you said, it's different for everyone. I'm a super slow writer, and sometimes when I read authors talking about how they can write 10 books in a year, I can't help to think I'm doing something wrong, LOL and yeah, it sucks. But just gotta keep at it.

I'm not even at the point of entering the querying trenches - YET - but I've been tugged down by so many different forms of writing advice: most recently, a writing peer my age (late teens) telling me to "write faster" before the market slipped away from my grasp.

    Not cool.
