Agent Colleen Lindsay has signed yet another new client for FinePrint Literary Management: debut novelist S.E. (Susan) Ward.
Ward's work has appeared in Baen's Universe and other places. She won the ChiZine short story contest in 2005, and has a blog and a web site.
Lindsay writes: "Why did I choose Susan? First, like Kelly Gay, Susan's query letter was nigh unto perfect. Concise but packed with information and a great opening paragraph hook. In short, she knows how to sell herself. Second, the concept behind her novel was truly original, fantastically and beautifully so. In fact, I couldn't stop talking about how original it was to friends and colleagues, so in retrospect, I guess it's a good thing nobody glued my mouth shut, huh?"
In response to Lindsay's welcoming comments, Ward writes: "I'll talk to Colleen about posting the query after the book is sold, though a little (a very, very little) about the series is on my website. I wouldn't even call it a taste so much as a glimpse of the dessert tray across a crowded restaurant."
