Most Common Reasons for Rejecting Excellent Manuscripts

Many freelance writers urge that endurance develops skill and talent rather than encouragement, or at least, 70 percent persistence and 30 percent inspiration.
Sometimes, the acceptance of a manuscript or an article looks like a question of the editorial accident and not a circumstance of clever salesmanship. Let’s imagine you have written an outstanding story and sent it to an editor. A variety of factors occurs during the rejection or acceptance of manuscripts.
If I am talking about my personal experience as an author, I really find it insulting when submitted my manuscript without paying attention to the publisher’s guidelines and I am definitely sure that most authors or writers do the same way.
You need to be very careful about grammar, titles, subtitles, headings, tables, spacing, paragraphs, spelling, etc.
Today, what I am about to share with you those reasons for most often reject manuscripts. So here are the major reasons-

Genre Issues

This could occur due to the problems of timing I’ve already discussed, but it could also be that the publisher or agent you’ve selected doesn’t work in that genre or can’t see a large enough return in its present audience.

The editorial mood is a regular variable

Many authors or writers think their script is outstanding and correspond with the reader’s feelings of the moment. At the next time, second reading might flawlessly replace the real feelings. On that basis, if an editor rejects your scripts, then continue to submit it to other editors, and then re-submit it to the editor who first had rejected it.

Timing

Usually, the reason for a publisher or agent is rejection has nothing to do with the quality of your writing – rather, it’s simply a case of bad timing. This can be especially frustrating, since your submission isn’t to blame and, short of infiltrating the publishing house, there is nothing you could have done.

Submission Errors

Of course, even if your timing is good, you’ve been savvy about the genre, and your manuscript is top-notch, if your submission is poorly put together, you won’t get anywhere. There are lots of Dos and Don’ts when it comes to communicating with literary agents and publishing houses, some better known than others, but the most essential thing is that agents and publishers are always searching for reasons to reject your articles or script.
So, be aware of these common reasons for rejection and the publishers Looking for submissions do send your scripts at https://www.rumourbooks.com/ (Rumour Book India’s) an official publisher of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’ book.

Writing Tips – How Much is Too Much?

When it comes to writing a book, you always think, “how much is too much?” thus to decide the amount of how much is too much you need a dispassionate eye, a sense of what the story demands and a sense of pace. The problem here is that you love your story and the way you have designed your characters. You want the readers to appreciate the story, the characters and understand it the way you want them to. However, it is important to guard yourself against the mistake of explaining the story too much. Rewrite your work, excluding every scrap of description. Now how does the story read? If a detail was not necessary, its absence will not be noticed. If you take out all the description of the unnecessary section, you would have a better story. In some genres, the most important element may be the plot and in others it will be the character that will interest the readers. Whatever the genre, however, the story is more than the plot. If your dialog establishes atmo...

Why You Need a Good Publisher?

In the current Indian fiction market, there are indeed very few publishers operating, and quite a lot of these publishers discriminate against writers. This means that more than most of these publishing houses and companies do not give a chance to the new entries in the fiction industry, meaning that fresh and new, trendy content is quite hard to come by, especially from Indian authors.  This simple fact prevents quite a lot of skilled authors, poets, and writers from achieving their dreams and providing the finest writing to the entire world.

What Exactly An Editor Do?

Okay, if you have a mind full of creativity, an eye for detail and a love of language, a profession in editing might be correct for you. There are many types of editors, including copy editors, book editors, substantive editors, proofreaders, etc. but they all have different skills from each other. Like trained editors have very excellent writing and proofreading skills, and may continue to write in their editing mode. All they require is a good judgment to plan what stories should run, and sound leadership abilities to guide. Editors read content and correct grammatical errors, spelling, and punctuation. They may re-write the content so targeted readers may simply understand what has been written. They must confirm cases with standard allusion sources and classify submissions from writers so they can resolve what to publish. Editors work along with authors and assist their content and opinions to succeed by presenting comments, advice, and reward on methods to promote. They ...
