Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Hemingway Foundation / PEN Award, this debut novel is "as funny as The Office, as sad as an abandoned stapler . . . that rare comedy that feels blisteringly urgent." (TIME) No one knows us in quite the same way as the men and women who sit beside us in department meetings and crowd the office refrigerator with their labeled yogurts. Every office is a family of sorts, and the Chicago ad agency depicted in Joshua Ferris's exuberantly acclaimed first novel is family at its best and worst, coping with a business downturn in the time-honored way: through gossip, elaborate pranks, and increasingly frequent coffee breaks. With a demon's eye for the details that make life worth noticing, Joshua Ferris tells an emotionally true and funny story about survival in life's strangest environment—the one we pretend is normal five days a week.

Book excerpt: An ambitious career woman signs up for a co-parenting website only to find a match she never expected, in this unflinchingly funny and honest novel from the author of Last Tang Standing. Management consultant Lucie Yi is done waiting for Mr. Right. After a harrowing breakup foiled her plans for children—and drove her to a meltdown in a Tribeca baby store—she’s ready to take matters into her own hands. She signs up for an elective co-parenting website to find a suitable partner with whom to procreate—as platonic as family planning can be. Collin Read checks all of Lucie’s boxes; he shares a similar cultural background, he’s honest, and most important, he’s ready to become a father. When they match, it doesn’t take long for Lucie to take a leap of faith for her future. So what if her conservative family might not approve? When Lucie becomes pregnant, the pair return to Singapore and, sure enough, her parents refuse to look on the bright side. Even more complicated, Lucie’s ex-fiancé reappears, sparking unresolved feelings and compounding work pressures and the baffling ways her body is changing. Suddenly her straightforward arrangement is falling apart before her very eyes, and Lucie will have to decide how to juggle the demands of the people she loves while pursuing the life she really wants.

Trump lays out his professional and personal worldview in this classic work—a firsthand account of the rise of America’s foremost deal-maker. “I like thinking big. I always have. To me it’s very simple: If you’re going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big.”—Donald J.

Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2022 by Oprah Daily ∙ Today ∙ Parade ∙ Marie Claire ∙ Bustle ∙ PopSugar ∙ Katie Couric Media ∙ Book Bub ∙ SheReads ∙ Medium ∙ The Washington Post ∙ and more! One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn't see coming... Nora Stephens' life is books—she’s read them all—and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby. Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters’ trip away—with visions of a small town transformation for Nora, who she’s convinced needs to become the heroine in her own story. But instead of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doctor or bulging-forearmed bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor from back in the city. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they’ve met many times and it’s never been cute. If Nora knows she’s not an ideal heroine, Charlie knows he’s nobody’s hero, but as they are thrown together again and again—in a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allow—what they discover might just unravel the carefully crafted stories they’ve written about themselves.

Book Synopsis Your First Fifteen Pages by : Sandra O'Donnell
Download or read book Your First Fifteen Pages written by Sandra O'Donnell and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-23 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the difference between a writer who never finds an agent or sells their manuscript to a publisher and an author who becomes a best seller? The first fifteen pages. If you have been sending out queries and wonder why your manuscript hasn't grabbed the interest of an agent, the answer might be in the first fifteen pages you submitted. Why? Because quite simply, most submissions are missing one or more of the crucial elements of storytelling that capture and hold readers attention. The job, the explicit goal, of those critical first fifteen pages, is to hook agents, editors, and ultimately readers. Those first pages need to grab us if not by the collar, at least by the sleeve and say, "I've got you. Keep reading." If your first fifteen pages don't do that, your manuscript won't make it past an agent's slush pile, and your book will never land in the hands of a reader or brighten the screen of their Kindles. As a literary agent, I've read thousands of queries and thousands of beginning pages. I've learned what makes a submission sing, sending me back to the author's query to find an email so I can ask for more. And, I've learned what causes me, more often than not, to push Send on a "passed with love" email. I loathe having to send those "thanks but no thanks" responses to a writer's work. I don't know any agent who looks forward to the opportunity to gleefully kill the dreams of someone who has spent years toiling away on a book. Fifteen pages may seem an unfairly short or arbitrary number of pages to determine if the writing or the story is worth pursuing. But honestly, by reading the first fifteen pages of a manuscript, I know what I need to know, which is: - If the writing is fresh, beautifully wrought, moving, or exceptional. - What drove the story into being - the inciting incident. - Who the main characters are and what makes them interesting and distinct. - When and where the story is set - the time frame, place or historical period. - The genre - is the story a romance set in Tuscany, a WWII revisionist history, a coming of age LGBTQ, a YA dystopian set in the past, or commercial fiction about life after death? - If the point of view feels right for the story. - If the writer is the only person who has read the manuscript (a dead give away is a manuscript riddled with grammatical errors with big holes in the story.) And, most importantly, we know if it is a story we are passionate about or at least excited enough about after fifteen pages to ask for the full manuscript. If we aren't into your story by page fifteen, our attention wanders, and after that, it is very difficult to get the reader back. I can hear many of you groaning, "My story is special. I need more time to develop my characters to give a backstory to build tension to pile on all the things I learned in writing classes " Actually, you don't. All you need to introduce the essential elements - the who, what, where, when and most importantly the why of your story - are the first fifteen pages. In this book, I back up my reasons for concentrating on the first fifteen pages by sharing examples from the bestselling novels in a variety of genres. You don't have to take my word for it. Read the first two chapters of this book and then pick up your favorite book in your favorite genre. Read the first fifteen pages. See for yourself what drew you to the book and why you kept reading. This book is for beginning writers AND for those who have a pile of thanks but no thanks rejections sitting in their inbox. It is for the novice writer with an inkling of a book idea AND for those who've heard crickets from all the queries they've sent out. It is for those who dream of being on a bestseller list or winning a major book award, AND for those who want to write the best book possible and see where it takes them.
