Slushpile Memories

Avoid the mistakes that keep your manuscript unread and unpublished, from the New York Times–bestselling author.

 

"Dear Author, Your story does not meet our needs at this time . . ."

You know your story is good, but still it was rejected. Over and over again. What are you doing wrong? Are the odds against you? How can an author climb to the top of a pile of competing manuscripts and actually catch an editor's attention?


By avoiding the common pitfalls and mistakes detailed in this book, you can significantly increase your manuscript's chances of making it out of the slush pile, and start turning those rejections into acceptances—and contracts.
