You must make sure your writing sample shines

“Your mama may have told you that “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” And so it is with book proposals. Acquisition editors see literally hundreds each year, so it is crucial for authors to communicate essential information succinctly, completely and professionally in order to stand out. I can’t tell you how many proposals I’ve read that I still had no idea what the book was about after reading 30 pages. Those proposals go nowhere.”

— SUSAN TJADEN, EDITOR, WATERBROOK & MULTNOMAH
