I need to write a paper on social dances that were going on at least two generations before me ( 60's 70's etc). I need to know what role they played in your lives, what kinds of dances were done, cultural influences and things that were going on in the nation at that time and how that influenced the dances. Any information that you can give me will help. Thanks!

It's my first attempt at a murder mystery novel, and I wrote without worrying about length. I just wrote until I was done. Now I am afraid that it is too long. My word count comes in around 109,000. Do I need to butcher it to prevent agents/publishers from being scared off?

Thanks!

The character names I need are 3 female names and 4 male names. If it is possible please make them have a first and last name. 2 of the female names should be exotic or not very common, if you know what I mean, some exotic first names for the females I was thinking of including Tabitha, Gwenivere, etc. 2, perferably, 3 of the male should be uncommon or exotic. Some last names I was thinking of for the male(s) that should not have exotic names were like Parkhill, Churchill, Randolph, etc. Thanks ahead of time, oh and no character can have the same last or first name as another. Thank you again!

This is my first book, and I am about to start sending out queries to agents. In the section on querying agents in Writer's Guide, they say a paragraph should deal with your experience. I have no publications of any kind under my belt. I do have an English major from a good university. I have done some freelance proofreading/editing - should I mention that? Do I mention my paralegal certification since my book is a murder mystery? (About 15 hours of my coursework was in criminal law - whopee! But my legal work experience was not in criminal law.)

I don't want to come across as having no qualifications, but I also don't want to include anything that comes across as only marginally legit. Any advice would be appreciated!

In the Writer's Guide they mention agents who deal with "crime/police/detective" and "mystery/suspense." My book deals with a police detective who is trying to solve the mystery of who committed a crime (murder)! How do you think I should label my book's genre most accurately and succinctly?

Thanks!

I have these old hardcover books circa 1936 through 1956 some are in decent condition some are falling appart. I need to glue the binder with acid free glue since its falling off. However over the years the pages have turned yellow. How do i preserve a book or what can I store it in when not in use? Is there some form of acid free box that I can put it in? Is there anything to reverse the yellowing? Is there anything to avoid allowing the pages from yellowing and drying out even more?

thanks!
