Description:QUESTION: What is the single-most common reason for poor book sales and rejection from publishers? ANSWER: Writers haven't taken the necessary care to properly edit their manuscripts! Sounds crazy, doesn't it? That, every day, thousands of potential bestselling authors throw away their chances of success over something so fundamental. Number One Bestselling Amazon Kindle authors, Rob Parnell and Robyn Opie Parnell, have joined forces to create a self-editing book that every aspiring author will need. If you've ever been told by publishers and/or literary agents that your manuscripts need editing (and you're not sure why), or if you're seeking the self-publishing success you feel you deserve, then "Make Your Writing Sparkle: Self-Editing for New Authors" is the book you absolutely must have - to take your work to the next level. Let's face it, quality editing services are expensive. Many new authors do not have the time, the money, nor even the inclination sometimes, to pay for editing. And yet, without good editing, the average manuscript will often be scrappy, and underdeveloped. You simply cannot afford to present less than perfect manuscripts to publishers and/or self-publishing sites like Amazon. Be smart: learn how to self-edit your work. Rob and Robyn have been in the writing business for most of their working lives. Between them, they've had over two-hundred (and counting) books and courses published all over the world, on-line and off-line. Their websites and blogs are considered by Writer's Digest and other writing-industry experts to contain some of the best writing advice on the Net. Rob and Robyn give regular talks and host seminars on motivation, fiction-writing success and the realities of publishing. Basically, Rob Parnell and his wife, Robyn Opie Parnell, know what they're talking about. But here's the kicker: Literary agents and publishers consistently tell them: "99% of all the manuscripts we see from new writers are not publishable." Why? "Because 99% of new writers don't bother to polish their work to a professional standard." Why does acceptance and success remain so elusive for so many authors? Simple: the majority of wannabe authors consistently destroy their own careers by submitting and self-publishing work that is not ready for the marketplace. The fact is, if you don't produce good, well-edited, professional-looking work, you will always be part of the 99% of wannabes. The following are some of the important issues you must deal with when producing great work: * Punctuation * Spelling * Grammar * Syntax * Clarity of Meaning * Readability * Style * Tense * Structure * Objectivity * Point of View * Show Don't Tell, and a host of other seemingly 'little' things that literally separate you from your success. As Rob Parnell states: "These so-called little things are so fundamental that, if you make mistakes in these areas, your manuscripts will never be considered worthy of publication. "Look, Robyn and I have tens of thousands of writers subscribed to our websites. We have daily contact with authors and edit manuscripts on a continual basis. Do you think we would care so much about this issue if we didn't agree with the publishers and agents we deal with? We too, know full well that 99% of new writers are sloppy and unprofessional when it comes to the basics. "Too many writers make errors consistently throughout their manuscripts, and don't realize that, for this reason, they are constantly rejected, and are seemingly unappreciated by their readers." Do the right thing for your writing: learn to self-edit with confidence.
