It’s time to get on with the important stuff. Like
getting our writing careers on track!
To do that, we need to get more submissions and queries
out there – onto the desks of editors and
publishers.
And we need those submissions and queries to look
good.
Because the more professional we are seen to be, the more
we are trusted to deliver the goods (the writing) and the
more chances we are given to prove ourselves (by getting
published).
But getting our work to look its best can be a
challenge.
We need to make sure our MSS are well written, in
faultless English and in the correct format, otherwise,
quite frankly, we really don’t stand a chance.
Why?
Let me ask you a question.
What do you think is the single most common reason for
MS rejection?
Bad ideas? A weak plot? Lack of credits?
Uh–uh. None of the above.
You might be surprised to learn the majority of MSS are
rejected for a very simple reason.
Sloppy presentation.
Ask any editor or publisher and they will tell you they
are literally plagued – daily - by manuscripts full
of bad spelling, dodgy grammar and terrible formatting!
But hey, this actually makes their jobs easier –
because a badly presented MS, with just a couple of
spelling and or grammatical mistakes in the first few
lines will have your work heading for the trash bin
faster than you can say William Shakespeare!
Tragic but true.
The best ideas in the world will simply not get read if
you don’t learn to self edit consistently
well.
Because the fact is, there are ‘rules’ –
obvious to editors and publishers – but sometimes
not so obvious to writers.
So - what’s the best and easiest way to increase you
chances of acceptance?
Simple. Know what is required.
And that’s where this brand new ‘Easy Way to
Write’ package comes in. It’s an absolute
must for every aspiring writer – as important as a
dictionary or thesaurus or any other writer’s
reference book.
