Because it's so sad that this is the world we live in where there are so many missing girl stories, but it is the world we live in.
Okay, so my notes from the top, I want to encourage everyone submitting to our show, everyone submitting anything ever, anyone talking about books, whether it's in a query letter or Instagram post or anything, to mention author names.
Let us promote name linkage.
So if you say the god of the woods, say Liz Moore, let's all do that because it's important.
It's important to always be reminding our brains.
to to promote authors it does not count towards word count i've said this before author names don't count they're magical and special this is a super minor note minor note but it is the god of the woods like there's a the missing again no one no one's gonna get mad at you because of that but i'm letting you know because i'm reading this i do think that when it comes to the plot paragraph when i read the line eerie parallels between tasha and the missing girl
Like that to me made me think, oh, there's going to be like a story here, like an investigative story, a story that's very meaty, propulsive, plot forward, a clear mystery, a clear connection to the protagonist because of these parallels.
However, after that, we don't really get anything other than really internal stakes.
Her solitary world comes under attack.
I have no idea what that means.
What shape does that take?
What does that mean plot-wise?
And must face her own fears before she too is lost forever.
I don't know if Bitsy's kidnapper was onto her investigation and decided to go after her, or if it was more of a situation of...
She couldn't step into her protagonism and her power if she didn't conclude this mission.
I just had no sense as I was reading this.
And I think I really want to.
One of the most common mistakes authors make is ending the plot paragraph with a question about the stakes that is super internal.
I feel very strongly that the stakes have to be external in a query letter because we are focused on plot for the query letter.
And internal stakes have a place in storytelling and they're very important, but you don't have to worry about it for the query letter.
