Joe Wikert of Publishing 2020 pointed to an excellent resource in his blog post today. The source is Terry Whalin and his credits include over 60 books and time as an acquisitions editor for a publisher. Today he’s an agent with his own literary agency.
Whalin offers a free report called Straight Talk from the Editor: 18 Keys to a Rejection-Proof Submission. Downloading it will get you on his newsletter, but I suspect it will be worth it, and if it isn’t, you can unsubscribe.
The report is worth the effort. Some 25 pages long, Whalin tells it like it is from the editor and publisher’s point of view. Go ahead; you’ll be glad you did.
