My first acceptance came after doing that very kind of publisher and market research--but after several rejections.Annette Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493583432919249814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25573541.post-34599664609523283372008-04-25T07:18:00.000-06:002008-04-25T07:18:00.000-06:00I think one of the most important things when subm...I think one of the most important things when submitting a manuscript is making sure you choose a publisher that is a good match for what you have written. For my first novel (Undercurrents) I spent a lot of time in the LDS bookstore searching for novels that were the same genre. I then listed down the pubisher and their addresses (listed on the copyright pages.) <BR/><BR/>Since I was writing suspense fiction and I hoped to write a sequel, Covenant seemed like the perfect match. Undercurrents didn't get accepted right away -- I had to do a complete rewrite, but ultimately my research paid off.Traci Hunter Abramsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06166775097044986075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25573541.post-68127241897948606592008-04-24T17:58:00.000-06:002008-04-24T17:58:00.000-06:00I've heard that if you include chocolate, tickets ...I've heard that if you include chocolate, tickets to sporting events, stuffed animals, a few $20 bills tucked between chapters, and scent all the pages of your manuscript with perfume you'll have a better chance at acceptance. <BR/><BR/>Couldn't resist :)Rebecca Talleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01969923131001170254noreply@blogger.com
