If you've ever wanted to ask an agent what will get your book rejected, the answer lies in this book. With details and examples of how to make a sales pitch for your book, it breaks down the fine print and amplifies it for you. Where Mr. Burns talks about how editing is like making a movie, getting the book to flow, it really hit home for me. Maybe I won't cry so hard now as the pages hit the editing room floor.
