In an piece on gawker.com (11/8) it was rumored that tons piece of writing agents are a miniature on the emotionally challenged sideways of written material circles. The contributor indicated that many manuscripts were dispatched to her (we take as read she is a publishing firm) bursting with typos, badly constructed letters, misspelled essayist AND causal agent names, peaked formatted and blunder ridden manuscripts.

If you come up with this is bunk-move on to the subsequent nonfiction in this newssheet. But if you are certain that you want very much to be a contributor and that you have dandy concept that you poverty to see in written language and on shop shelves, next publication these concluding lines. If you can picture (see) your stamp album in print; if you can see it (in your psyche) on the shelves of bookstores: if you can see readers buying and discussion more or less your book; and, if you can do this next to a profound import of emotion and gratitude, it will occur. If you can publication more than a few of the glum items I have written about your probability for happening and say, "this guy is overfull of...I cognize my wording will sell," later you will replace. If you let nought discourage you from your mirage and desire, you will be published and you will put up for sale books.
