New Query Requirements

Heck with email, all queries must now be audio, and sent by Batman. Here's the template

  1. Ha! Forget about this Dan person. Sign Batman!

  3. Nothing like a great laugh first thing in the morning! (What, 10:54AM isn't first thing in the morning?)

  4. Dang, I can only afford Robin.

  5. Audio is no prob; it's just so very hard to get Batman out of that Bat Cave these days.

  6. *falls out of chair*

    ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

  7. Holy batshit and that ain't no Joker.

  8. to show my age a bit, i think all audio queries should come from William Dozier, the producer and narrator of the original 1966 Batman TV series. he had a gift for narrating the perfect pitch, just what every aspiring writer needs.

    of course, Dozier is dead, which would make this idea a bit difficult...

  9. This is what we call a ROFL moment

    "If you're not interested screw you, 'coz I'm the Batman!"

  10. "How one bat found love in a cave..." LOL! :D awesomeness.

  11. I'm in tears at my desk and people are looking at me weird. Thank you. This was hilarious.

    "I'm the BatMan!"

  12. This was priceless! Thanks for a good laugh.

  13. Do not listen to him. I don't know Batman, and I can't vouch for his fiction novel memoir.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Does this template still apply to Tragi-fantasy paranormal memoirs?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Be careful what you wish for!

    ReplyDelete
  16. "That boy can format words." I'll keep this in mind for my next fiction-novel-memoir-thing...

    ReplyDelete
  17. Batdude says Borus was murdered...or was he? Read the book to find out.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Only by Batman? Well, there goes my "Hulk want representation" idea.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Note to self: Have Batman be my guide from now until forever.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Are you serious? I only ask 'cause I know Batman, and he owes me a favor...

    ReplyDelete
  21. Batman has written a memoir, therefore your argument is invalid.

    Adding just a touch more absurdity to this is the existence of Back to the Batcave, the memoir of Adam West (who played Batman)... which shows that even when you try, sometimes you can't get weirder than reality.

  22. Next thing, Janet, you'll want a tour of the bat cave.

    ReplyDelete
  23. So... there were a couple places in there where Batman sounded like Cookie Monster. Coincidence? Or....?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Oh God, stop laughing -- it just encourages him.

  25. That is the best thing I have ever

    ever

    heard.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Do not, under any circumstances, accept this query. The Batman in this recording is a fraud because...

    I'M the BatMan...thing.

    He's plagiarizing my stuff.

    Jerk.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I have to admit that I panicked when I saw "New Query Requirements" before the Batman stuff! I was thinking "just when I had her old query how-tos all figured out for when I finally get this novel written and now they're changed! LOL"

    Love Batman. Love Robin.
    Don't love undies over tights. :)

  28. *grins* *chuckles* *keeps grinning*

    I'm showing my brother this.

  29. If I can't find Batman, can Jack Reacher just drop it off?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Hahaha, that was legendary. I was really not expecting that! Especially since I hit the link, then my computer lagged, and I got up to go to brush me teeth while I waited and suddenly I heard an incredibly ominous voice coming from my supposedly empty bedroom. Nothing quite like being absolutely terrified then completely amused!

    ReplyDelete
  31. That just made my day. Haha.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Does this mean I have a shot at sending a re-query to you?

    ReplyDelete
  33. The volumn was turned up.
    Husband asleep.
    Clicked on link.
    Woke up husband.
    "What F--- is that," says he.
    "Batman," says I, turning down volumn.
    "Bat who," he asks.
    "Batman."
    "Fat man?"
    "Go back to sleep honey."
    Now he wants an ice cream.
    Next it's going to be you know what.
    Thanks Batman, sex and ice cream, mmmmm

    ReplyDelete
  34. Pretty nice. But I have to admit it made me think of Rorschach before I thought of Batman.

    ReplyDelete
  35. This is for Michelle re:

    "That is the best thing I have ever

    ever

    heard."

    Where? On The Gong Show?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Now THAT was clever marketing strategy. Dan even managed to sound like George Clooney. Dan deserves a shot at publication simply for having balls much larger than a bats and enough desire to be seen and heard to grab attention.

    Bravo.

    ReplyDelete
  37. "I've written a fiction novel memoir". Holy confusion, Batman!

    ReplyDelete
  38. "some stuff happens in this novel fiction memoir and, uh, you should read it"

    LOL!!!

    I am going to do a yoda query for my novel

    "read you must, for the vampires come they will, kill you they shall"

  39. I actually caught a little Christian Baleness in there and got a little turned on. ;)

Keep your comments succinct. Any comment that runs longer than 100 words is generally too long.

If you're commenting more than three times a day, it's too much.


Civility is enforced. Spelling/grammar mistakes may be pointed out ONLY in the blog post itself, not in any of the ensuing commenter's contributions.

If your comment doesn't show up, it's most likely that Blogger ate it. Try posting again using a GoogleID. (comment moderation is on only for older posts)
