Happy May, My Lovely!

Spring is finally in the air, which means life is in full bloom (sorry to those of you who have allergies like me) and the sun is out longer. Yay!

With longer days to enjoy, now is the perfect time to work on that novel you’ve been pushing off throughout winter. While you’re at it, I want to share with you one thing–or multiple things, in this case–that literary agents and publishers actually want:
