This book would be most highly valued by those authors seeking to break into the traditional publishing sphere. As a younger writer, I found this book crucial to my ambitions for traditional publication. The author provides many the reasons why one would be rejected AND what to do about them. For every problem, he gives three solutions.

Some of the online resources and information might be a tad outdated, but that's the nature of the printed book. Traditional and indie (or self-publishing) tactics have shifted dramatically in recent weeks.

The format makes it easy to read in short chunks of time. If you want to query agents and editors, read this book first. ( )
