I researched everything I could about <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1XJnIgf\" target=\"_blank\">how to write query letters<\/a> and studied samples from published authors. Most of the samples suggested adding a paragraph at the end of your letter to tell a little about yourself and your writing experience. I soon realized while typing that paragraph that my skills were lacking. The only thing I could add to prove that I was a serious writer was that I had taken a few classes on writing at my local university. While I am not downplaying the experience that can give a new author, anyone can enroll in most of the beginner classes. I wanted something more. I needed to prove I was okay with taking risks as a writer and wanted to show agents I meant business. I went ahead with querying a few agents and while none gave negative feedback on the \u201cabout me\u201d paragraph, I still felt dissatisfied. When I took a step back and decided to change the structure of my book, it gave me the time I needed to sharpen my <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/20YHCFS\" target=\"_blank\">writing skills<\/a> and build my presence as a writer.<\/p>\n<p>I never thought of myself as a risk taker but I wanted to be noticed. I utilized twitter and learned of some great opportunities. Actually, that is how I learned about Writers Fun Zone. I read the blogs by writers like myself and really loved the fact that <a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/?s=Beth+Barany\" target=\"_blank\">Beth<\/a> was looking for guest bloggers and <a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/?s=monthly+columnists\" target=\"_blank\">monthly columnists<\/a>. At that time, I had recently started my own blog but honestly it scared me to death to take the risk of querying Beth to become a blogger for WFZ. My blog had decent information but I hadn\u2019t found my voice yet. One evening I got an idea of a blog post and instead of publishing it to my own blog I decided to query Beth to be a <a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/?s=guest+blogger\" target=\"_blank\">guest blogger<\/a>. I decided the worst that could happen was she would say no and that was that. I didn\u2019t ask about being a monthly columnist because I figured there would be no way she would accept my writing with my lack of experience. Instead, she did the complete opposite. That\u2019s what I get for assuming. In fact, she loved my idea and asked me if I would be interested in becoming a monthly columnist, and here I am. My point is I decided to take a chance and am so glad I did. The past six months have helped me sharpen my writing and now I have one more item to add to my \u201cabout me\u201d paragraph when I begin querying agents again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I befriended a published author and decided to read one of her novels<\/strong>. I thought it was great so I decided to not only write a review on amazon but also on my blog. I shared the post on social media and received a lot of visitors. I decided to start researching sites that wanted book reviewers and am currently a book reviewer for Penguin Random House. Again, I took the risk and now have one more writing experience to add to my \u201cresume\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Around the same time I decided to join Romance Writers of America to gain further exposure and throw ideas back and forth with other writers. You can be a general, PRO or PAN member. I started as a general but worked towards becoming a PRO member. I had to submit some of my work to get the status and when I was accepted, I felt accomplished. This is great honor I can add to my writing profile.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I was making my presence known by taking risks<\/strong>. I doubt adding all the writing experience I have now to my about me paragraph will secure me an agent but I feel now that I have more to offer them and they know I am serious about being a writer. My advice would be to get involved, write and share it with the world. Grow your presence as a writer!<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<h2>ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog-djackson.weebly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"http:\/\/blog-djackson.weebly.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-13955\" title=\"Deanna Jackson\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1446928007-230x300.png\" alt=\"Deanna Jackson\" width=\"150\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1446928007-230x300.png 230w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1446928007-300x391.png 300w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1446928007.png 438w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>I am an unpublished author working on my first romance novel.
