What's in your manuscript?

Have you submitted query letters, only to receive "not right for our list" rejection emails . . . or nothing at all?

The potential cause could be basic writing mechanic errors in your query, synopsis, and/or sample pages that identify you as a writing "rookie."

Does your work contain writing mechanic errors like:
  • non-descriptive adjectives
  • overused weak verbs
  • trite adverbs
  • misplaced modifiers
  • run-together sentences
  • a profusion of "red-flag" words

If so, the cost (to the publisher) to edit your manuscript until it is publication worthy will cause it to be rejected. This is a business decision. (It may feel personal, but it's not.)
