On the Shelf: The School for Good and Evil

Wednesday, 26 June 2013

THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL | SOMAN CHAINANI | HARPERCOLLINS | MAY 2013

This year, best friends Sophie and Agatha are about to discover where all the lost children go: the fabled School for Good & Evil, where ordinary boys and girls are trained to be fairy tale heroes and villains. As the most beautiful girl in Gavaldon, Sophie has dreamed of being kidnapped into an enchanted world her whole life. With her pink dresses, glass slippers, and devotion to good deeds, she knows she’ll earn top marks at the School for Good and graduate a storybook princess. Meanwhile Agatha, with her shapeless black frocks, wicked pet cat, and dislike of nearly everyone, seems a natural fit for the School for Evil.

But when the two girls are swept into the Endless Woods, they find their fortunes reversed—Sophie’s dumped in the School for Evil to take Uglification, Death Curses, and Henchmen Training, while Agatha finds herself in the School For Good, thrust amongst handsome princes and fair maidens for classes in Princess Etiquette and Animal Communication.. But what if the mistake is actually the first clue to discovering who Sophie and Agatha really are…?

I loved this book, but I'm a little biased. There's something in me - some crazy literature gene or obsession with childhood - that attracts me to any piece of writing that has to do with fairy tales. When I heard about this book, I knew I had to read it. There wasn't any way that I could ignore it. Chances are, I probably would have found something about it that I loved even if the book was terrible. Well, it's not.

That doesn't mean there aren't flaws. Sophie is insufferably annoying and the book is definitely on the long side, especially for its age group. However, my dislike for Sophie was made up for by how much I loved Agatha. The two have an interesting connection that kept me reading. How could their friendship possibly survive when they were placed on opposite sides of the fairy tale dichotomy?

Chainani has written an interesting twist to the fairy tale genre. The School for Good and Evil isn't as black and white as it sounds, and the things learned in classes - and the reasons why - are more complex than you might imagine. There were some elements added to fairy tale folklore that I absolutely adored.

The ending is quite open-ended, and it sort of appeared out of nowhere. It's an obvious lead-in to a second book (it has always been listed as book #1 in a series, so that's no surprise) and I really want to know what is going to happen next.

I looked up a few other reviews for this book because there's a scene at the end that really solidified my happiness with this book and I wanted to read what other people thought about it. There's a certain theme laced through the book that I definitely picked up on, but based on some reviews, some people didn't notice it at all. I'm stuck wondering whether the theme is intentional or if it's reading too far into things. I know I'm being vague - I don't want to give anything away - so if you've read the book and want to talk about the ending, let me know (I would love to have a discussion about it).

If you like middle grade fiction, this book is worth a read. You don't like middle grade fiction? Well, read it anyway and embrace your inner child. You're never too old to read a children's book. The book trailer below should entice you enough.

Why I Love Being an Intern

Monday, 24 June 2013

Internships have been under a lot of scrutiny lately. I can’t begin to count the number of recent articles that argue against the value of internships. Interns are overworked. Interns are underpaid (or not paid at all). Interns are given meaningless tasks.

All of these things may be true. People have lived through real-life nightmares as they try to complete an internship. Some interns do spend their days purchasing coffee and photocopying paper. However, the stigma attached to interning is somewhat unnecessary. Not every position is a waste of time and energy.

While some industries have internship positions that are quite useless (I’ll refrain from mentioning names or fields), others choose to go the internship route for a very specific reason: it’s truly the only way to learn.

I love my internships. I am an intern for two wonderful literary agencies and I work closely with some incredible agents. Completing internship assignments are often the best parts of my day. You may think I’m a nerd, but receiving an email with a new project makes me giddy. Without going through the trials of interning, I wouldn’t know for sure that I want to work in publishing – and I certainly wouldn’t have the skills to do so.

An internship takes time. They are mostly unpaid, so you need to weigh the positives and the negatives of having very little money for an undetermined amount of time (depending on how long you’re willing to be an intern). If you live in a major city with publishing houses and literary agencies, certainly apply to work in an office. I would love to be able to go to an office every day and see my bosses (better thought of as mentors) in action. Unfortunately for me (and, truthfully, for most people in North America), that isn’t an option. You’ll be happy to know that there are remote internships and these positions are actually quite common in the publishing industry. You’re wrong if you think a remote internship isn’t worth your time and effort.

I am still learning, regardless of the fact that I complete my internships from the comfort of my own home (I love having the ability to wear my Super Mario Bros pajamas while responding to emails or reading manuscripts in bed). As I mentioned, I work with some lovely people. I’m given assignments that force me to learn new skills and explore behind-the-scenes of the industry. You can also make wonderful connections. Not only do I work with specific agents, but I also get the chance to stalk editors (only online – if you’re an editor, I will not be creeping outside of your office window) and interact with the writing community (I have no idea how writers do it, but I sure am glad that they do). Not to mention the amazing manuscripts and proposals I get to read before anyone else.

I didn’t have many expectations when I started my internships.  Upon reflection, I am so happy that I gave it a shot. (Even if my bank account is less than enthused.) My brain is crawling with knowledge (does that phrase gross out anyone else?) and I’m excited to discover what else my training has in store.

I highly recommend completing an internship if you want to get a job in any realm of publishing. While it is hard work (and the fun stuff probably won’t happen until you’ve proven yourself), the hard work pays off. You will learn. You will make connections. You will have fun.

Character Study: Buffy Summers

Wednesday, 19 June 2013

I finished a re-watch of Buffy the Vampire Slayer this week and Buffy Summer's character impressed me more than ever before. I've been a Buffy fan for as long as I can remember, but I never did love Buffy all that much. It's not that I've ever disliked her, but she never stood out for me among the other personalities (Willow, Giles, and Spike are definitely my favourite characters).

I saw the progression in Buffy's character this time around. Watching the series in a short amount of time allowed me to see character development happen quickly, rather than the typical slow change. I can still clearly remember the Buffy of Season 1, and yet the Buffy of Season 7 is so much wiser and stronger.

Buffy saves the world. She doesn't necessarily want to, but she takes her calling seriously and does everything she can for those she loves and those she doesn't know. She has obvious physical strength, but she's also emotionally strong. She endures heartbreak and grief, failed friendships, real-life struggles - the things every woman or man goes through in his/her life - and so much more.

There are times when Buffy is an open book and other times when she's completely closed off from the world. You can watch half of a season without knowing what she is thinking. Still, Buffy Summers is an inspiration. You'd be silly to not aspire to her amount of strength and love and wisdom.

She accepts her calling as the vampire slayer and makes it work. It's not a title she wants - and it causes her more problems in life than helps her out - but she does it because she has to. She's the chosen one because she's strong enough to handle it. Buffy represents women everywhere. Joss Whedon writes her character in a way that moves her beyond the world of vampires and demons. The weight of the world is placed on her shoulders in the same way that people everywhere, every day, deal with the stress and struggle of daily life.

"There's only one thing I've ever been sure of. You." - Spike, talking about Buffy's strength

On the Shelf: The Age of Hope

THE AGE OF HOPE | DAVID BERGEN | HARPERCOLLINS CANADA | 2012

Born in 1930 in a small town outside Winnipeg, beautiful Hope Koop appears destined to have a conventional life. Church, marriage to a steady young man, children - her fortunes are already laid out for her, as are the shiny modern appliances in her new home. All she has to do is stay with Roy, who loves her. But as the decades unfold, what seems to be a safe, predictable existence overwhelms Hope. Where - among the demands of her children, the expectations of her husband and the challenges of her best friend, Emily, who has just read The Feminine Mystique - is there room for her? And just who is she anyway? A wife, a mother, a woman whose life is somehow unrealized?

The Age of Hope is a quiet book. Some books scream out loud and force you to turn pages like your fingers are on fire. Others allow you to take your time and really process every word. David Bergen's story about Hope - a woman who is unable to find happiness no matter how much she tries - brings up questions of identity, family, and health.

This story can be fairly upsetting. As Hope grows older, things don't exactly go as planned. You'll read about her failed attempts to make her life better and you can feel her boredom and isolation through the pages. However, Hope's life starts to focus on things outside of herself. She slowly moves away from selfishness and learns to let her children take centre stage in life.

I'm not sure if anyone would find Hope to be a likeable character. She's whiny. She's unhappy. She's hopelessly optimistic. Still, I couldn't stop caring as I read. I wanted to learn more about her and understand why things weren't working out. The thing is, life isn't always what you want it to be. Events happen that are outside of our control and, just as Hope goes through that harsh realism, we also need to learn that lesson.

I struggled to empathize with Hope, but that may be because of the age difference between myself and the character. When the novel begins, Hope is around my age - and the story quickly progresses through her life. I don't have children myself, so it was difficult to understand her reaction to her children and the things they make her feel, but it's always nice to put yourself in someone else's shoes for a little while. Even though my life experience is completely different from the events of the book, David Bergen's writing led to some important contemplation on my part.

I'm a Wicked Witch in Another Life

Thursday, 13 June 2013

Wicked by Andre De Freitas  |  WICKED by Tim Shumate  |   Elphaba by Makissima

It should come as no surprise: I'm going to talk about Wicked again for this week's book chat. I don't often relate to characters. I know it's common for readers to connect to and critique a book based on how well you relate to the main character, but I've never been that type of reader. The only character I've ever felt a strong connection to is Elphaba Thropp from Gregory Maguire's Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.

From the moment baby Elphie was found in the arms of a tiger/dragon hybrid, I knew she was going to be an important fictional character in my life. It seems strange that I connect with a character so far removed from my own reality (my life is - fortunately and unfortunately - nothing like the land of Oz), but all of Elphaba's characteristics are things that I embrace about myself.

I admire Elphaba's thirst for knowledge and her caring personality. Sure, she has a bad reputation (she is the Wicked Witch of the West after all), but it doesn't ever stop her from trying. I see myself in her strength to keep on going.

I've always been the dark-haired "other." Most of my best friends throughout life have been blonde-haired beauties, whereas I'm the slightly awkward and book-loving opposite. With dark hair and intense eyes, I've never felt quite right in my own skin (even if it isn't green like Elphaba's).

The Broadway play adaptation of Wicked only furthered my connection to Elphaba. Songs like "No Good Deed" and "Defying Gravity" have lines that make me truly feel for the character and they emulate what I struggle with in my own life. The ending of "No Good Deed" quite literally gives me chills.

Elphaba Thropp goes through many things that I have also encountered: Having things go wrong despite best efforts, trying to sort out exactly what you're meant to do, and holding a firm understanding that your actions have consequences outside of your meagre little inner-world.

"As someone told me lately, everyone deserves the chance to fly."

On the Shelf: Born Weird

Wednesday, 12 June 2013

BORN WEIRD | ANDREW KAUFMAN | RANDOM HOUSE CANADA | 2012

The Weirds have always been a little off, but not one of them ever suspected that they'd been cursed by their grandmother. At the moment of the births of her five grandchildren Annie Weird gave each one a special power. Richard, the oldest, always keeps safe; Abba always has hope; Lucy is never lost and Kent can beat anyone in a fight. As for Angie, she always forgives, instantly. But over the years these so-called blessings ended up ruining their lives. Now Annie is dying and she has one last task for Angie: gather her far-flung brothers and sisters and assemble them in her grandmother's hospital room so that at the moment of her death, she can lift these blessings-turned-curses. And Angie has just two weeks to do it.

I won a copy of this book from a giveaway on My Pen, My Voice at the beginning of the year. Unfortunately, life has a silly habit of "getting in the way" and I wasn't able to read Born Weird until last month.

Life also gets in the way for the siblings of the Weird family. Thanks to blursings (blessing + curse) afflicted upon them by their grandmother, the five Weird children go through life expecting things to go smoothly and yet horribly wrong at the same time. Born Weird is completely realistic in its portrayal of family (dysfunctional families really do have a special place in the land of literature), but has a touch of magic realism to make the book a little strange. Or, weird.

The entire book reads like a Wes Anderson film (Moonrise Kingdom, The Royal Tenenbaums). I could practically hear the quirky soundtrack in the background as I read. Kaufman's uncanny ability to make short and choppy dialogue charming, and vague descriptions come to life, is a true demonstration of talent. I'm surprised Anderson hasn't already shown up at his doorstep with a screen adaptation.

Born Weird is a short book, and the story flew by quicker than I could turn the pages. It was my first encounter with Kaufman and I'm looking forward to more. If you've read any other Kaufman novels, which one should I pick up next?

Querying: Word Count

Tuesday, 11 June 2013

Knowing the "proper" word count for your story is important. This can often make or break your query. If your word count is way too short for the intended audience, then it's probably not going to sell. (Agents can only do so much with a short story or a novella.) If your word count is way too long for your genre, then no one will want to read it (including potential agents).

• Learn the expected word count. Research articles about the average word count for manuscripts (this article from Writer's Digest is a great starting point). Read books within your genre (which hopefully you're doing anyway) and note how long they are. Does your manuscript fit within these numbers?

• Have a set word count in mind. If you pick a number somewhere in the middle of what your research has shown and use it as a goal, your story will be prepared for edits (adding and deleting scenes as necessary). You'll also be able to ease your mind when querying because you'll know that your manuscript's word count fits reasonably within expectations.

• Include the word count in your query. The word count of your manuscript is a crucial element of your query. Don't include the number of pages. I see this too often and it means absolutely nothing. Page numbers change with the click of a mouse (font size, font style, paragraph spacing, etc.). Word count is static.

All of this being said, the guidelines for an expected word count are flexible. Manuscripts change a lot as they go through the editing process. It's okay if your book doesn't fit exactly into the guidelines, but the number of words in your manuscript should make sense for the story, the genre, and the intended audience. (A word count of over 300,000 doesn't usually make much sense. Just so we're clear.)

Why You Need #AskAgent in Your Life

Monday, 10 June 2013

One of the best resources for new writers is the #askagent hashtag on Twitter. I've decided to devote a post to this resource because I know there are some writers who aren't heavily involved in Twitter's writing community. If you're a writer looking for an agent (or even if you're interested in self-publishing), the #askagent hashtag is one you should start monitoring on a daily basis.

The greatest thing about #askagent is that you can read information from many literary agents. Most agents will use the hashtag when they're available to take questions, so you're faced with different ideas and suggestions the moment you look at the page. You can find new agents to follow this way, or simply gather their advice and use it to your advantage. (Don't say no to free help.)

You can also ask questions. The publishing industry is astoundingly helpful and friendly. If you're confused about querying or want to know what genres an agent loves - or hates - using #askagent is the way to do it. No question is a dumb question. Chances are, someone else has the same question too. Or you might find your answer by browsing through the Tweets. You never know.

Try to set aside time each day (or week - whatever works for you) and browse through some of the Tweets. #askagent is the perfect way to gain knowledge about the industry and interact with publishing professionals.
