Rise Above the Slush Pile - video

How do you get out of slush pile and get noticed? Start your book in an unexpected place. For Peter Zuckerman, author of "Buried in the Sky," that meant opening with an amazing rescue scene. The tactic created interest in what happened next, but also in the preceeding events. This was Zuckerman's way of instilling inspiration and heroism in a story that might have otherwise been bogged down by disaster.
