Farewell To Summer

The last rose is fading - the days grow longer, the nights colder. The literary agents come back, like swallows to Capistrano, returning to inboxes piled high with queries.

Once again, bright and early on Tuesday morning, the publishing world will swing into action, a spurt of intense activity that will last until Thanksgiving, when winter holidays and parties interrupt the flow.

Put the last dab of polish to the query this weekend. Shine up the first fifty pages of the manuscript. There's no rest for the wicked. Or the unpublished.
