Title: HELP FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE
Product review: Most books about writing tell us what to do. This book, however, takes the opposite approach and tells us what not to do. As an editor, Noah Lukeman shows writers why their manuscripts are rejected by both agents and publishers time and time again. After defining the problem spots, the author gives us examples and then follows with exercises to help correct the problem. The only criticism I have of the book lies with the examples. They are truly dreadful. I'm sure the author made them up to illustrate his point, but I, myself, would have found examples more helpful had they been drawn from actual books. This book, however, is very useful, both for the beginner and the more advanced writer and will go a long way toward keeping you out of the rejection pile.
