10 things not to say in your book proposal

Been away from here for a week! But I am returning with this, from Writers Weekly, a great resource for writers.

“At Booklocker.com, we receive several book manuscripts each week from authors wanting to get their books into print . . . we publish less than 5% of incoming submissions. After another agonizing week of seeing the same mistakes by authors made time and again, I thought we’d try to help those of you who are sending your manuscripts to publishers, traditional and other. Perhaps we can help you avoid one of these common mistakes (and give you a smile at the same time!).”

That is all. Get back to your writing!
