About this ebook
Far too many authors, in their haste to submit their manuscripts to agents and publishers, neglect to adequately edit / proofread their work. This is a big mistake as a meticulously edited / proofread manuscript has a far greater chance of receiving publishing approval than one that has not been adequately refined. This booklet explains what to look for when editing / proofreading your manuscript so that it has the greatest chance of being accepted for publication. Don't neglect this vital process; it can ruin your writing career before it has even started.
