How to Write and Market your book Competently,
By J. Gresham "Jon, the CivilSociety and MultiSm... (Montgomery, AL usa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Writer's Handbook
" In general, I rejected stories for one or more of the following reasons, and this had nothing to do with how well written the stories were.1. The pace was wrong. 2. The story was not complete in itself. 3. Main character was not identifiable. 4. Editor could not get interested in the characters. 5. Nothing happened in the story. 6. Character did not have a serious enough problem. 7. The story was just too grim. 8. The story was offensive, or the editor thought it was offensive. Nine out of ten stories that are rejected fall into one or another of these eight categories." This book remains a standard on my bookshelf as a reference to help me write clearly, concisely, and confidently. Newer editions of The Writer's Handbook should be studied as well, but this version is written for those who wrote for the children of the 1980s, who are now upper-middle aged readers.
