INTERVIEW WITH ROBIN LEE HATCHER
-----------------------------------------------------------------
---
by Debbie Ridpath Ohi
<editor@inklings.com>
Robin Lee Hatcher is an award-winning romance novelist whose
works
regularly appear on bestseller lists. Robin is the Immediate Past
President of Romance Writers of America, the world's largest
nonprofit
genre writing organization. Currently, she serves as chairperson
of
RWA's National Literacy Committee. Recent works include KISS ME,
KATIE
(Fall/96, Harper Paperbacks), CHANCES ARE (Harper Monogram), and
LIBERTY BLUE (Harper Monogram).

How did you make your first sale?
---------------------------------
I was one of the lucky ones. After writing my first book (which I
started in March 1981, writing long hand on yellow legal pads,
then
typing it about four times on an IBM Selectric and finishing in
November 1981), I checked out a copy of _Writers's Market_ from
the
library and found 21 publishers who I thought published the sort
of
book I'd written. I wasn't a member of RWA, which was still a
fledgling organization in December 1991, so I didn't have that
advantage. Then I wrote what I hoped was a great query letter.
I started mailing my queries, more or less simultaneously, in
January
1982, ten or eleven of them with sample chapters, the others
without,
depending upon whether or not _WM_ said the publisher wanted
them. By
March, I'd received lots of rejections and one request for the
entire
manuscript (from Nordon Publishing). By April I had a contract
offer.
By May I'd had another request for my book, but never sent it as
I'd
accepted the first offer. By the end of June, I'd finished a
sequel.
By August, the publisher was bankrupt. Big disappointed sigh.
Several
months to regroup.
In February 1983, I resold that first book, plus the sequel, to
Leisure Books (Dorchester Publishing) for a whopping $1,000
advance.
_Stormy Surrender_ was published in February 1984 and _Heart's
Landing_ was published in March 1984.
What do you consider to be the most important features of a good
query
letter? (your first one obviously worked!)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----
This is a very difficult question because, out of 25 novels, I've
really only ever written one query letter, and that was in
December
1981. The main thing to remember is that your query must pique an
editor's interest, make them want to read more. Your query must
be
your best writing. This is not the place to rush. Catch every
dangling
participle, every typo, every misplaced comma. Make every word
count.
You only have about 15 seconds to make an editor want to read
more.
What I'm going to do is reprint what worked for me almost 15
years
ago. Would it work today? I haven't the foggiest notion. Read it
FWIW.
(Please note: My original title is included below; it was later
changed to _Stormy Surrender_.)
"Dear [Editor]:
_On Wings of a Song_ is an historical romance set against
the
backdrop of the Civil War. It is the story of raven-haired beauty
Taylor Bellman, whose love for Spring Haven, the majestic
Georgian
plantation of her birth, is paled only beside her forbidden love
for
Brent Lattimer, the Yankee son of her aged husband.
Loved and pampered by her parents, raised amid the quiet
elegance
of their plantation--a melodic river, a sea of white cotton, the
mighty live oaks and fragrant magnolia trees--Taylor, at sixteen,
is
ill-prepared for the death of her parents, the jealousy of her
half-brother, or the impending loss of Spring Haven. Given little
choice, Taylor agrees to marry David Lattimer, a man she has
never
met. Surprisingly, she finds contentment and true affection in
her
marriage, and she begins to grow into a woman of understanding
and
compassion. Yet, it isn't until she meets Brent Lattimer that she
learns of the burning desire and love dwelling within her.
_On Wings of a Song_ is the story of men. David Lattimer,
who
remembers his poor beginnings all too well and whose greatest
desire
is to become a part of the society that scorned him. Brent
Lattimer, a
man of honor and a Yankee, who will meet any danger, face any
foe, to
reach his beloved. Philip Bellman, obsessed by a love he thinks
he
never had and willing to make Taylor pay for it. Jeffrey Stone,
who
will accept love on any terms in order to marry Taylor, even if
it
means loving her child as his own. And Matt Jackson, so filled
with
hate he will do anything to gain revenge and fulfill his lust.
And it is the story of women. Marilee Stone, who sees
only the
good in those she loves and, therefore, brings out the best from
within them. Jenny, who desires freedom and her man more than
life
itself. Lizabeth Reed, so crazed by loneliness she becomes a pawn
for
vengeance.
Above all, this is the story of Taylor Bellman, a girl
becoming a
woman at a time when a civilization is dying. The story of a
woman
created to be loved, the men who love her, and the one man she
chooses
to love in return.
_On Wings of a Song_, my first novel, is approximately
97,600 words
in length. I will be happy to send you the complete manuscript
upon
request. Thank you for your consideration. A self-addressed
stamped
envelope is enclosed for your convenience.
Sincerely,
Robin Lee Hatcher"
This query was rejected by a lot of publishers, but in looking
through
the file to copy this query for you, I discovered that none of
the
editors who signed the rejections are still around in romance.
And I
am. <vbg>
As I said, this may be too florid to fly in today's market. But
then,
I also doubt you could sell a romance where the heroine is
married
three times before the end of the book in today's market, but
that's
what Taylor did back then.
What are your work habits? (daily goals, when, how long, etc.)
--------------------------------------------------------------
I'm in my office pretty much seven days a week. I try to do
something
related to my current book in progress everyday ("try" being the
operative word here; it doesn't always happen). Research counts,
but
I think a writer should write something everyday, too. There is a
lot
of other work which encroaches on an author's time--reader mail,
bookkeeping, cover treatment questionnaires, etc. I am not
someone
with a fulltime secretary (I hire occasional part time help). I
do
most of the office-type work myself.
My goal is to write ten pages a day after I hit page 100. I
expect
less of myself in those first 100 pages as I'm discovering where
my
characters are taking me. I usually write two to four pages in an
hour. Five hours of actual writing time is probably the max for
any
one day. I am a morning person, so I usually get started writing
as
soon as that first cup of coffee is ready and my e-mail has been
answered.
We are building a new home at present, and I will have both an
office
and a library on the second story as well as a private bathroom
and
coffee area. This will put me away from all distractions. I'm
really
looking forward to it.
I believe it is very important for all writers to have a place
that is
theirs to create in. Even if it is a favorite recliner in the
family
room or a closet in the basement behind the furnace and next to
the
catbox, it should be a place where your brain knows "when she
sits
down there, she is going to create." It makes the writing a whole
lot
easier.
I started writing in bed at night after the kids were asleep,
lying on
my stomach and scribbling away on that yellow legal pad (then
typing
those pages at work the next day at the office). The month after
my
first book was published, I put my car up for collateral and
bought my
first computer (an 8088 with two 5 1/4 floppy disk drives) with a
daisywheel printer. The total cost was about $5,000! Boy, how
times
have changed. Anyway, I set up my "office" in a corner of my
bedroom.
It was about four or five years before I had an office of my own.
How long have you been on the Internet? How much influence has it
had
on your writing life, if any?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----
I began my on-line experience as a GEnie subscriber in September
1994.
I obtained my internet account in November 1995 and left GEnie
shortly thereafter. I also am on AOL but use that almost
exclusively
for Live Chats in a private room with two of my writer friends.
We
use it to brainstorm ideas for novels and have found it very
beneficial.
Influence? Well, definitely it has helped in the communications
area.
I use the e-mail a great deal, including with my publisher. I am
able to stay in closer contact with friends and family. I use the
internet as a promotional vehicle, via my web page. I have used
it on
a limited basis for research. At this point, I would say the most
influence has been in the aforementioned brainstorming sessions
with
other writers. We also download chapters to let each other read
our
work in progress on an as-needed basis. (I am not a member of a
critique group; tried it for a few months several years ago and
found
that it was more harmful than helpful. But sometimes I do
appreciate
the "eye" of another writer whom I trust to give an opinion.)
What are your upcoming publication(s), and what are you working
on now?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
------
CHANCES ARE is currently on the shelves (HarperMonogram, May
'96).
KISS ME, KATIE is a November '96 release from Harper. This is a
particularly appropriate month for this book to be released,
because
(a) 1996 is the 100th anniversary of women in Idaho getting the
right
to vote, and (b) it is the 80th anniversary of the first woman
being
elected to the U.S. House of Representatives (Jeanette Rankin,
Montana, 1916).
In KISS ME, KATIE, set in 1916, my heroine, Katie Jones also
decides
to run for Congress as a representative from Idaho. Her
suffragette
notions, given birth during her college years at Vassar and honed
during her years working for woman's suffrage in Washington D.C.,
are
not met with joy and open arms in her small home town of
Homestead,
Idaho. Katie enlists the aid of her childhood friend, Ben
Rafferty,
who (as luck would have it) is owner and publisher of the local
newspaper. With a few of her old tricks up her sleeve, Katie
persuades Ben to let her write a column for the Herald. Ben is
her
greatest supporter--and he could also be her downfall, because
Ben
loves Katie, a woman who is determined to remain single while
fighting
for the rights of women. Look for a bumpy ride on the road to
romance
for these two.
I am currently working on the second of my new three book series
for
Harper. The series follows the lives of three immigrant girls
(one from
England, one from Sweden, and one from Ireland) who arrive in
America
on the same steamship in 1897. The first book, DEAR LADY (6/97),
tells the story of an English noblewoman who goes to Montana to
teach
school rather than marry a man she detests.
What advice do you have for hopeful romance writers?
----------------------------------------------------
Write from your heart. You can learn the mechanics of writing,
but it
takes a storyteller to be a novelist, and if you let that talent,
that
dream, be buried beneath lots of "do this" and "don't do that"
then
you will lose the sparkle that makes a book worth reading. The
best
teachers are those books you love to read. When you find one that
is
special, read it again, this time to study how the writer made
you
feel whatever he or she made you feel. Keep your fanny in your
chair.
Writing does *not* have anything to do with the way you "feel."
The
muse is an over-rated rascal. Your writing will be just as good
on
days you feel rotten about your writing as on the days when you
think
you are the next Great American Novelist. Writing is hard work.
It
always will be. And don't give up. A writer writes, no matter
how
many rejections roll in. This is a business of rejection. Get
used
to it now. It doesn't go away just because you get published.

ASK THE ELECTRONIC PUBLISHER
-----------------------------------------------------------------
----
by Ken Jenks
<MindsEye@tale.com>
Q: Isn't it dangerous to post my story on the Internet? What if
somebody copies it and distributes it illegally?
The technology that makes a story easy and inexpensive to
distribute
electronically also makes it easy and inexpensive for pirates to
steal copyrighted stories published on the Internet -- at least,
in
theory. This has not happened in practice. Copyright violations
do
occur on the Internet, but most are easily detected by periodic
use
of modern search engines, which allow rapid searches of the Web
and
USENET newsgroups for any text. Most of the copyright violations
that
occur on the Internet involve images, not text. When a copyright
violation is detected, usually a simple e-mail note suffices to
remove the pirated material from the 'Net. Legal action is also
possible, but with the usual problems of jurisdiction and legal
fees.
Internet technology makes illegal duplication easy, but so does
photocopying or scanning and optical character recognition (OCR).
Existing legal protections, ease of detection and the cooperation
of the various Internet Service Providers have been sufficient to
prevent widespread pirating of copyrighted material on the
Internet
for many years.

"FIRST SALE" STORY:
Gordon Kirkland, Large Humorist @ Large
<gkirklan@direct.ca>
------------------------------------------------------------
[Editor's Note: This really isn't a FIRST sale story, but I liked
it
so much I had to publish it here.]
"In 1990 I received a severe spinal injury in a golfing
accident -
my car was rear ended on the way to the golf course. It had quite
an
impact on my handicap!
I had just completed the first of what would be several
trips
researching a series of books I had been contracted for by the
federal government. They had exciting titles like - A Guide To
Canadian Industry Accessing Trade Opportunities In Malaysia.
Needless
to say - that career came to a screeching halt on the road that
day.
After 4 years of moping around the house, feeling sorry
for myself
and becoming a general pain in my wife's ...well ... you know ...
Diane suggested that I try writing again - but this time try to
make
it something that more than 187 people might want to read.
I had just discovered the Internet and the Internet Relay
Chat
service. I didn't bother looking into any of those sex on the
computer
groups because, well, frankly it sounds so darn uncomfortable
trying
to have sex on your computer. I was chatting with another man I
had
met a couple of times before and told him that I was going to
return
to writing and that I wanted to find a newspaper that might be
interested in a humor column.
He said, "Send me something."
When I asked him why he would be interested he said,
"Because I am
an editor at the Moncton (NB) Times-Transcript."
He bought the first column I wrote for him and has
continued to buy
them ever since. For the 1st 16 months I was only being published
in
the Times-Transcript - on the opposite side of the country from
my
home on the west coast. In January of this year I syndicated the
column and it now appears in a growing number of newspapers
across the
country (in 4 of the 5 regions with Constitutional vetoes). The
Charlottetown Guardian recently joined the fold.
While I had been a writer in one form or another since
1972 - I
consider that my first sale as a full time writer."
