A testimonial from one of my discussion groups...

Donna Erickson
Senior Editor/Copartner at AG Press
Ryan has given you good advice. Double-check your proposal. You don't want any typo's. I happened to spot three in your posting. If you decide to have someone proof it, I can help. If you e-mail me privately, I can refer you to two small presses that won't charge--if you decide to go the traditional route and if they feel it is marketable. Good luck!

Best wishes,

Donna Erickson

Both Ryan and Donna gave you good advice. You can also look into self publishing and POD. You left out the subject of your future book - the most important piece of info which almost always determines the route you need to take to being published.

I don't know Donna E. but her point is so terribly important. Typos are deal killers. Typos are like finding a pebble in your pizza or bugs in a sandwich. Uch. Well, you have typos. You have typos in your question. You have typos in your LinkedIn Summary. Not good. But don't take any of this the wrong way. This comes from people who have been burned by their own mistakes. One of my books -- published by Wm.Morrow -- had a typo on the date of the attack on Pearl Harbor. We've been there. It kills your credibility as an author. Particularly on a pitch.

No typos. Get an agent. Or POD.
