Many writers make the mistake of sending out work before it’s ready. As the publishing market continues to tighten, it’s more important than ever to look at your manuscript and make sure you not only know the fundamentals, but that you have created a strong enough plot, that your idea is both original and timeless, that you have weeded out all the rookie mistakes that virtually guarantee a rejection. Joyce Sweeney, author of 13 young adult novels, has worked with hundreds of authors on all types of manuscripts. She will discuss mistakes made by beginners, intermediates and even advanced writers, who can’t get past that dreaded…”I love it but it’s not for me”…rejection.
