Attention Writers:
Are you ready to stop
collecting rejection slips and begin earning money as a
professional? |
|
Dear
Frustrated Writer,
Are editors saying NO to all your queries?
Do you need the Open Sesame password that grants you an
audience
with an agent?
Have you mastered the secret handshake that tells a
publisher,
"I belong to your fraternity?"
If you want to become a professional, money-making writer,
you've come to the right place - the home of
Every Page Perfect, a guide that translates your unique
talent into the language spoken by editors and agents. |
 |
|
Tony Hillerman, Bestselling Author says,
"Every Page Perfect tells you what every professional
writer should know -- and most of us don't."

Let's face
it:
The publishing world has become a whole lot more exclusive.
Getting your work published can feel like applying to join a
small elite club. Yesterday you made informal deals over lunch.
Today you must submit a formal proposal.
Every editor on the planet reviews hundreds of query letters
each week, even if they're serving a niche market with more
writers than readers.
Your submission needs to shout, "I belong here! I'm a
professional!" If you're not recognized as a member of the In
Group, you'll be stuck in the rejection pile forever.
But most writers have no idea how to join the In Group. They've
never seen what real professional work looks like. So when an
editor says, "Send in Chapter One," they spend hours polishing
their words, but get rejected because their page screams "Amateur! Not one of Us!"
Editors and publishers know the rules. But they're not getting
paid to teach you. And frankly, they joined the game so long
ago, they take the rules for granted. They want to work with
professional writers who already know the score.
And the plot thickens. You need a rulebook for every type of
writing. If you're a serious writer, you probably write
articles, books, reports, fiction, nonfiction and query letters.
You submit proposals, synopses and sample chapters.
So you need
ten different rule books to get pulled out of the rejection pile.
Many of these rules (like where to begin your Chapter One text)
are carefully guarded secrets. You won't learn these tips in
writing class.
And if you read a writing book, you'll probably learn one rule
at a time. How to format fiction. How to query nonfiction.
Business articles. Magazine articles. You'll need to buy a dozen
books and hope they've all got the story straight.
And just when you think you've got all your bases covered an
editor invites you to consider a whole new genre! And now you're
heading back to the bookstore, credit card in hand.
So...how do you join the club without breaking the bank (or the
law)?
You could sneak into an
editorial meeting to learn the Secret Handshake (if you
don't get arrested while lurking on the fire escape).
If you're lucky, your
sister's third cousin has been married to an editor's best
friend (and if you survive a two-hour dinner they'll open their address book).
You could spend hundreds of dollars on books, conferences
and classes and hope your teachers know the real Insider
Secrets.

Every Page Perfect
and immediately unlock the door to your editor's "yes" pile.
Every Page Perfect gives you the
Open Sesame to your writing career

-- Lois Duncan, Best-selling Author,
says,
"A responsible parent wouldn't think of sending a teenager off
to a job interview without a clean shirt and polished shoes; a
responsible writer wouldn't think of sending a query or
manuscript off to a publisher without Every Page Perfect.
"Here's the book that will help any writer get the job done
right!"

Every Page
Perfect
reveals the secrets of the professionals:
Exactly how many lines of text to place on Page One, Chapter
One (Page 59)
What to include in your running head (and why you need one) (Page
60)
How querying an agent is different from querying an editor (Page
51, 91, 113)
What to change when querying an editor you know (instead of
querying a stranger) (Page 52-55)
How submitting short fiction differs from submitting your novel
(Page 18-22, 48-110)
How to submit book-length nonfiction
(Page 111-162)

Every Page Perfect is the
only book you'll need and maybe the only book on the market--
to take your writing career to the professional level.
Every Page Perfect explains
how to submit anything you write, from a single poem to a
full-length novel. You won't need six books to fill your shelf
and empty your wallet, just one!
