JK Rowling Stole Famous Magician's Life Story!

If you haven't seen the David Copperfield video posted on GalleyCat, you're in for a treat. In a hilarious 2-minute video, the famous magician claims that the character of Harry Potter was based on his own autobiography.

If you don't follow the blog Cornell DeVille, there was a nice post on query letters yesterday. At the bottom of this post, a free editing opportunity was offered from his personal copywriting website. He'll critique any 250 words you send...eh-hem, perfect for getting feedback on a first page or query letter!!

I took him up on this, and he got back to me the same day with some awesome suggestions. And if you like his comments, you might keep him in mind for future editing assistance. *Note: the warning that says "Don't click THE LINK" because gremlins will take you away to a magical place, etc., is not meant to be intimidating.
