78 Reasons Why Your Book May Never Be Published and 14 Reasons Why It Just Might
78 Reasons Why Your Book May Never Be Published and 14 Reasons Why It Just Might | Pat Walsh
1 post | 9 to read
For the hundreds of thousands who buy writers’ guides every year, at last there’s one that tells the ugly truth: writers who can’t get published are usually making a lot of mistakes. This honest, often funny, book shows them how to identify their own missteps, stop listening to bad advice, and get to work. Drawing on his experience as founding editor of MacAdam/Cage, Pat Walsh gives writers what they need—specific, straightforward feedback to help them overcome bad habits and bad luck. He avoids the optimistic, sometimes misleading directions often found in publishing how-to books and presents the industry as it is, warts and all. Here is the first guide that tells writers just what the odds against them are and gives them practical tips for evening them.

This book has been out for 10 years & the tech stuff is outdated, but I still recommend it to aspiring writers every time I'm asked for writing/publishing advice. And I show them my dresser, which I decoupaged with my rejection slips. I miss rejection slips… more civilized than unanswered emails.

Matilda The "no response email is your response" is actually worse than a rejection. 8y
