Hello, Write Edge readers! We’re halfway through the month. Where did it go? I feel like it was August just last week!

As the weather ping pongs and tries to figure out when it wants to settle into fall, I’m trying to figure out what to write for my next book. In my latest release, The Witch’s Apprentice and Other Stories, I put a call to action at the end of the book. If you’ve read it, enjoyed it, and want more stories like what I share in this small but mighty collection, let me know. That could help me decide what to write next!

In the meantime, for those of you with finished manuscripts and looking to next steps in your publishing journey, I have a great resource for you. If you’re thinking of going the traditional publishing route and are starting your journey toward finding an agent, here’s a look at some successful query letters that got offers of representation. A query letter has a very specific purpose and format. It’s the first formal look that members of the publishing industry will get at your work. Give yourself the best chance you can by making your query the best!

Tomorrow in my #bookreviewpreview on Instagram, I’ll share what I #amreading for this week’s review. Find that on the app with my handle, @EktaRGarg, and check out some other fun posts while you’re there, then come back on Wednesday to The Write Edge Bookshelf for the full review.

Speaking of Instagram, I’ll be back on the app throughout the week with other fun “bits and bobs” as the Brits say. Just little moments from my writing/non-writing routines. Keep up with me there, and have a great rest of the week, readers!
