Exactly what I have been telling my creative writing students. I am glad to see this kind of messaging on more and more literary agents' submission guidelines.

RIVERBEND REUNION is a Kindle Deal! Riverbend, Texas, doesn’t look like the crossroads of anywhere. But for four high school besties reuniting after twenty years, it’s a place to unpack a lot of baggage.

Upon hearing that Elizabeth Gilbert has written another memoir, readers may imagine that they’re in for the type of adventure and revelation they found in the author’s blockbuster book, “Eat, Pray, Love.” But her new book is not that.
Elizabeth Gilbert’s Latest Epiphanies
“Eat, Pray, Love” was a huge hit in part because readers imagined they could be like its author. Her new book, “All the Way to the River,” shows how dubious that notion was.
