Is the focus the political intrigue, the rise and fall of a king, family betrayal or a story of repentance and redemption? Who is the targeted reader? I'm guessing adults, but from this pitch I couldn't be sure.<BR/><BR/>How would this novel be different from me simply picking up the Old Testament and reading the story there? I need you to tell me why your version is something people would want to read when they already know the story.<BR/><BR/>The good news is people have had success with historical fiction based on people from the scriptures. But I probably wouldn't ask for a partial unless you gave me some selling points in the query.LDS_Publisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15053645600240124892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25573541.post-1152293047450191962006-07-07T11:24:00.000-06:002006-07-07T11:24:00.000-06:00I have to vote for this.
