Resource Thursdas: Nathan Bransford

Nathan Bransford is a literary agent at Curtis Brown Ltd., and his blog is one of the internet hot spots for writers.  Nathan provides an inside look at the publishing world and has packed his site full of information.  The posts are varied – from contests and submissions guidelines to trends and questions for reader feedback – but when I read them I always come away with a positive feeling (you could even say the posts make me downright cheerful.)  What’s nice is that such a large audience listens to Nathan every day, and that he’s really opened up a dialogue with his readers.   A very fun post was America’s Next Top Suprisingly Essential First Page, a contest where the winners helped demonstrate what really works in a first page and why. I especially love his ten commandments for the happy writer.  If you haven’t already come across Nathan’s blog I would definitely check it out.  Hopefully you’ll come away feeling cheerful too!
