Three fun facts: Tara Sim

I loved going to punk rock concerts.

I acted/sang in 5 musicals.

I was working on my third novel.

WEBSITE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM

This year’s theme is Flashback to Seventeen! Here are three fun facts about Tara Sim when she was seventeen. Check back in each Friday for two more fun features, and follow along on our Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for daily content leading up to the festival!

ABOUT TARA

Tara Sim is the author of TIMEKEEPER (Sky Pony Press, Fall 2016) and writer of all things magic. She can often be found in the wilds of the Bay Area, California.

When she’s not writing about mischievous boys in clock towers, Tara spends her time drinking tea, wrangling cats, and occasionally singing opera. Despite her bio-luminescent skin, she is half-Indian and eats way too many samosas.

Tara is represented by Laura Crockett at TriadaUS Literary Agency.

She also sometimes blogs for Quirk Books.

Name pronunciation: “tar-ah” (not “terr-ah”).

ABOUT TIMEKEEPER

In an alternate Victorian world controlled by clock towers, a damaged clock can fracture time—and a destroyed one can stop it completely.

It’s a truth that seventeen-year-old clock mechanic Danny Hart knows all too well; his father has been trapped in a Stopped town east of London for three years. Though Danny is a prodigy who can repair not only clockwork, but the very fabric of time, his fixation with staging a rescue is quickly becoming a concern to his superiors.

And so they assign him to Enfield, a town where the tower seems to be forever plagued with problems. Danny’s new apprentice both annoys and intrigues him, and though the boy is eager to work, he maintains a secretive distance. Danny soon discovers why: he is the tower’s clock spirit, a mythical being that oversees Enfield’s time. Though the boys are drawn together by their loneliness, Danny knows falling in love with a clock spirit is forbidden, and means risking everything he’s fought to achieve.

But when a series of bombings at nearby towers threaten to Stop more cities, Danny must race to prevent Enfield from becoming the next target or he’ll not only lose his father, but the boy he loves, forever.

The stunning first novel in a new trilogy by debut author Tara Sim, Timekeeper is perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare and Victoria Schwab.

Patience and Other Priceless Tools for Writers

Must I read another diatribe on the tenacious spirit of debut authors? Yup. It’s all about patience, ladies and gentlemen. You’re in the world of writing. Tenacity is only half of it. You will need patience, loads of it, for these baby steps. In a year of transitioning myself from wordsmithing-hobbyist to full-time writer, I’ve learned about patience. Nothing happens quickly. …

Quote

When Dimple Met Rishi meets Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda in this rom com about two teen girls with rival henna businesses. When Nishat comes out to her parents, they say she can be anyone she wants—as long as she isn’t herself. Because Muslim girls aren’t lesbians. Nishat doesn’t want to hide who she is, but she also doesn’t want to lose her relationship with her family. And her life only gets harder once a childhood friend walks back into her life. Flávia is beautiful and charismatic and Nishat falls for her instantly. But when a school competition invites students to create their own businesses, both Flávia and Nishat choose to do henna, even though Flávia is appropriating Nishat’s culture. Amidst sabotage and school stress, their lives get more tangled—but Nishat can’t quite get rid of her crush on Flávia, and realizes there might be more to her than she realized. The Henna Wars by Adiba Jaigirdar Publisher: Page Street Kids Release Date: May 12th 2020 Genre: Young Adult, Romance, LGBT, Contemporary, Queer Links: Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/44286258 Amazon: https://amzn.to/3a8XIHV B&N: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-henna-wars-adiba-jaigirdar/1132911539?ean=9781624149689 Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/the-henna-wars Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Adiba_Jaigirdar_The_Henna_Wars?id=WYCoDwAAQBAJ Review: The Henna Wars by Adiba Jaigirdar is a novel showing the reader how gossip can manipulate and control lives. After Nishat attends her cousin's wedding, she realizes that she needs to tell her parents that she is gay so that they may change their expectations of her. Nishat doesn't expect her parents to take this news well or that it would go over well in their Bengali Muslin community. Since there is expectations in the whole community, gossip is a huge factor on how people interact with each other.Nishat is even having a hard time at school. Her school rival Chyna likes to gossip and spread rumors. One time she spread a rumor about Nishat's family's restaurant. Chyna and her cousin Flavia decide to start up a Henna business for a class project just because they think Henna is pretty. The Henna Wars tackles tough subjects like racism and homophobia.It also tackles the differences of of cultures and people.I felt like the author did a good job making them appropriate for a a young audience. One of the disappointing things to me is I felt like the author did a lot of telling vs showing in the store. She says a lot of things to the reader vs using a style of writing to show the reader. I really thought that tackling the subject of gossiping was important. People don't always realize how much gossip can hurt people. About the Author: Adiba Jaigirdar is a Bangladeshi/Irish writer and teacher. She lives in Dublin, Ireland. She has an MA in Postcolonial Studies from the University of Kent, England and a BA in English and History from UCD, Ireland. She is a contributor for Bookriot. Previously, she has published short fiction and poetry in various journals and anthologies. All her work is aided by copious amounts of (kettle-made) tea and a whole lot of Hayley Kiyoko and Janelle Monáe. She is represented by Uwe Stender at TriadaUS.

How to Get an Illustration Rep

Working with an illustration rep might not be for everybody, but for those who are interested, an agent can be a great asset. But how does an illustrator go about finding a rep? Let’s discuss the ways your work can stand out from the crowd.

Become established

The first thing to note is that it can be difficult for someone just starting out in their career to find a rep. For the most part, agents are typically interested in taking on illustrators who have already established themselves to a certain degree. This doesn’t mean that you need to have worked for the highest profile clients in the world, but you do need to have some jobs under your belt. If you haven’t done any freelance work yet or have only worked for a few small clients, it might not be the time to do an agent search. Consider building up your client list and portfolio a bit first before pressing forward.

Be irresistible

Regardless of whether or not you’re established, finding a rep shouldn’t be any problem if you offer something so amazing that an agent knows he or she will be able to sell it. This could be:

A killer portfolio that’s marketable, unique.

An idea that an agent feels is so strong he or she wouldn’t have any problems finding a buyer, like an awesome children’s picture book, or a middle grade novel, or a unique product.

Enough promise and drive that an agent feels like the effort of nurturing your career would be worth the time and effort it would take him or her.

Get a referral

While most illustration reps have an open door policy towards submissions, you can find more success if your work comes to them through a friend. If you can get a referral from an associate who’s already represented by the same agency, do that before hitting the general “submit” button on an agent’s website. Your chances will be a lot better.

Don’t be a creep

Agent relationships are like every other kind of relationship in the world. If you come off like a nutcase who’s difficult to work with or you have unrealistic expectations, that can be a huge turnoff. When approaching agents, make sure to keep the ego in check and not seem like you’d be an overly demanding client who’d suck their time and energy. Have good work, a positive outlook, and a willingness to listen and learn.

Let them come to you

Finally, you might not even need to search for an illustration rep at all! If you focus on your work and building your brand, eventually—if your art gets enough exposure and is of outstanding quality—agents will seek you out instead. For many, that’s the best way to go about this process.

Final thoughts

One thing to note before you begin, though, is that, while we’ve discussed things you can do to find a rep, we haven’t actually talked about whether or not it even makes sense for you to have one.
