While riding in my car, thoughts are flooding my head and I am so thankful I have that used napkin and a pen nearby just waiting. This is one of the most important writing tips I could give you. Write using your own style. There are a hundred different ways to write a story. Some of the best authors I know have shown publishers that they are the best ones for the job by their own personal ability to show creativity, individuality, and originality.
Publishers look for pieces that are so original and so fresh that they stand out from the rest.
If the talent is there, you'll be in business. Rejection Do not fear rejection. I have known authors who have been rejected over and over and still go on to become best-sellers. Sometimes rejection will only make you give up. Rewrite Writing is hard and solitary work.
