Leonard Marcus said a book like PRESS HERE could have had a dummy made by a writer (after all, it's just dots on a page). Every book will be a different situation, but I think the writer has to write text that can stand on its own for someone to buy it.Rob Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05189999418618335098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-378441400441702936.post-48690126919427103102011-08-21T11:59:08.920-04:002011-08-21T11:59:08.920-04:00I love the idea of concept books.

In other words, how do you present your ideas w/out TONS of art notes (which I often hear agents/editors do not like to see) explaining your ideas? <br /><br />If your concept book has few words, but great visuals, what's the best way to query this? Anyone with ideas--please comment!Heathterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05476468396217779245noreply@blogger.com
