Join editor Anna (Sargeant) Luketic for a webinar that takes writers on a journey through the 10 reasons their work may not be getting picked up!
So, you’ve been writing for years, but you’re not getting published. This can be quite frustrating! As an acquiring editor, I’ll share 10 reasons that might be the case. Topics include “The concept is not wild enough,” “The book makes perfect sense but has no shape,” and “The author doesn’t see their book as a proof of concept for their business.”
Understanding the industry can seem pretty impossible at times, but in this webinar, editor Anna (Sargeant) Luketic will bring the transparency every writer needs to the forefront.
Who Should Take This Class:
- Writers with a picture book manuscript that isn’t quite working
- Writers who have been having trouble breaking in to the industry
- Those in the query trenches
- Writers looking for a little more industry transparency
- Picture book writers
