Writer's Quick Tip

Simple Market Research

I keep track of important information about novels I read on 3 x 5 cards, which double as bookmarks.  On one side of each card, I write the title, author, publisher, copyright date, number of pages/chapters and the type of novel.  

On the other side, I make notes about the story, POV, organization of chapters, etc.  I also record the name of any agent or editor mentioned by the author.  When I enter the information in my computer, I have a "personal" marketing guide to potential publishers for my novel.
