It’s time to get our writing careers on track!

To do that, we need to get more submissions and queries out there – onto the desks of editors and publishers. And we need those submissions and queries to look good.

Or, if you're the self-publishing kind, you need to get quality books into places like Amazon, Google Play, and the Apple Store, because it's only well edited and polished books that sell.

The more professional we are seen to be, the more we are trusted to deliver the goods (the writing) and the more chances we are given to prove ourselves - by getting published and selling books to new readers.

But getting our work to look its best can be a challenge.

We need to make sure our stories and manuscripts are well-written, in faultless English and in the correct format, otherwise, quite frankly, we really don’t stand a chance.

You need to understand all the important issues like Punctuation * Spelling * Grammar * Syntax * Clarity of Meaning * Readability * Style * Tense * Structure * Objectivity * Point of View * Show Don't Tell...

Why?

If you need to ask then let me ask you a question.

What do you think is the single most common reason for rejection by traditional publishers?

Bad ideas? A weak plot? Lack of credits?

Uh–uh. None of the above.

You might be surprised to learn the majority of manuscripts are rejected by publishers for a very simple reason.

Sloppy presentation.

Ask any editor, literary agent, or publisher, and they will tell you they are literally plagued – daily - by manuscripts full of bad spelling, dodgy grammar, and terrible formatting!

But hey, this actually makes their jobs easier – because a badly presented MS, with just a couple of spelling and or grammatical mistakes in the first few lines, will have your work heading for the trash bin faster than you can say, William Shakespeare!

Tragic but true.

The best ideas in the world will simply not get read if you don’t learn to self-edit consistently well.

Because the fact is, there are ‘rules’ – obvious to editors and publishers – but sometimes not so obvious to new writers.

So - what’s the best and easiest way to increase your chances of acceptance?

Simple. Know what is required. 

And that’s where this brand new Writing Academy package comes in. It’s an absolute must for every aspiring writer – as important as a dictionary or thesaurus or any other writer’s reference book.

Listen, my wife and I have been in this writing business for a long time. Between us, we've had 117+ (and counting) books and courses published - and that's not including the thousands of other articles, interviews, and writing projects we've been involved in over the last seventeen years. We've even had TV and movie scripts optioned, made and screened.

Our writing websites and blogs are rated by Writer's Digest and many other writing experts as containing some of the best writing advice in the world. Not to brag but we also give regular talks and host seminars in Australia.

Now we have high powered promoters (connected to Oprah) literally beating down our door for us to do a U.S. speaking tour!

Why?

Because, when it comes to writing, we know what we're talking about!

So take this course - and you'll be in good hands!
