Why do you think Medieval authors, namely Chaucer, challenged the common outlook on women?
Q. Through the works of these authors (such as Canterbury Tales) we can see evidence of Medieval authors writing about women in a new light, contrary to how they were spoken of during the Middle Ages.

A. I think you've answered your own question. Women were shown in a new light. The Miller's tale is a clear example. it shows women controlling their sexuality and, in fact, being sexually aggressive. A heavy concept for those days.

For any experienced (possibly, attempted) authors- What steps are required to propose a book?
Q. I am doing research and I was wondering what an upcoming author does to get his/her book in action. I know that they usually send proposals in forms of letters first, and usually find an agent, then find editors. More specifically, though, my question is, do authors ever need to go to board meetings or anything? Sorry, I know it sounds weird, but it's important. Thanks for any answers in advance!

A. Many publishers don't want unagented manuscripts (mostly because there are WAY too many really bad books out there and they don't want to read them all). To find an agent, you need to find a list on the internet (try googling for agents in your genre). The agent website will tell you what they are looking for. This is usually a query letter, synopsis of your book and possibly the first chapter or 3. There are websites on writing that will help with how to write a synopsis or query letter. If your book is going to be a smash bestseller, the publisher might want you to do publicity (ie tour bookstores doing signings, go on TV shows). But frankly, this is very, very rare and the publisher and agent can deal with an author who does not want/ [cont.]

I would like your answer to exclude Heinlein and Rand, since I already have read a lot of their work and they are just too cliche. 2. Also leave out Orwell and any of those other books critical of dictatorship, because Orwell was a democratic socialist and any of his works, not to mention Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, The Giver, etc. can find sympathy from anybody, not just libertarians.

The first one mentioned is a pretty classy magazine that I like a lot. Or let a couple of literary agents in your province know about your company. Agents should be listed somewhere for your area. Look for books about agents if you are still at a loss. I believe you will then be inundated with material and be in a position to pick and choose, and later take only solicited material like so very many other publishing houses.

If not, look on the same page the copyright is on, before you even reach the title page in the book. Among all the small print, read the name and address of the publisher, and write to the author care of that house. If you see more than one publisher mentioned, look at the dates each publisher put out an edition, and look for the most recent one; that is where you want to send your c/o letter to. Luck--

JKR did nothing that i know of to promote Philosopher's stone when it was published that is why the series did not become popular until Prisoner of Askiban came out Carrie was not a book... it was first published in a journal then latter published as a book because people who read the journal loved it... or that is what i've been told
