Publishing Begins Before You Submit Your Manuscript Finishing a novel is one of the greatest achievements for any writer. After months (or even years) of work, the time comes to consider the next step: finding a publisher willing to take a chance on the project. However, many authors discover that writing a good story isn’t always enough. The publishing process begins long before a member of the editorial team opens the manuscript. The way the work is presented, choosing the right publisher, or adhering to submission guidelines can all influence the chances of your proposal being considered. Publishers receive numerous manuscripts every year, and in many cases, a sloppy presentation can cause a novel to go unnoticed. That’s why knowing the most common mistakes when submitting a manuscript can help you make a better first impression and increase your chances of being considered.
