Two Top No-Nos: Why your submission fails

A very helpful post by Kristin Nelson (which came to my attention via Twitter) on why, as an editor, she passes on scripts. She says two reasons why your manuscript/chapter submission may fail to attract the attention of an agent/editor are: 

A: There is no 'plot catalyst'  
B: There is nothing at stake 
  • Read the original blog post (This is much the best idea.)
  • Think about it (I've been thinking about it ever since I read it yesterday.)
  • Look at your own work (Mmm. Catalyst? Stake?)
  • Go for it.
