Hi everyone. Thanks for stopping by. Most of you know me as the author of “Flirting
With Danger,” a romantic suspense.
But many of you may not know that I was a literary agent for over 15
years and that I taught fiction writing classes for over 10 years.
I have
put my knowledge and experience into four books on the craft of writing.
I’d like to feature two of them here
today. If you are a new or novice writer,
who is planning to submit to traditional publishers, or to literary
agents for representation, you may find the information in these books
beneficial.
“Ten
Reasons Why Editors and Agents Stop Reading.”
Learn
the ten most common mistakes that writers make which can cause an Acquiring
Editor at a publishing house, or a literary agent, to stop reading your manuscript
and pick up someone else’s.
“Formatting
Manuscript.”
Improper
formatting is probably the first reason
for rejection by most Acquiring Editors at a publishing house, as well as
literary agents. They see the physical look of your manuscript as soon
as they take it out of the package, before they even read one word of
your story. If they see common beginning
writer mistakes, your manuscript will go back into the package, unread. Proper formatting separates the professional
writer from the amateur. Yes, there is
an industry standard which editors and literary agents expect writers to know
before they submit their manuscript for perusal.
