Your manuscript may be nearing completion, but there are additional steps you’ll need to take before firing it off to an agent or publisher. Submission guidelines can be stringent, meticulously detailing everything from formatting to file type. Countless manuscripts have been tossed out before being read in their entirety, or even before being opened, a fate you will obviously want to avoid. As Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.” In our meeting on March 8th, LeeAnne Krusemark will draw upon her considerable experience to alert us about common mistakes that cause rejection, and how to avoid them.
LeeAnne Krusemark is an adjunct online Professor of Publishing for more than 1,000 facilities worldwide, and is a nationwide speaker on the topics of entrepreneurship and publishing. Her in-person lectures have been offered at more than 200 facilities nationwide, including Purdue, and she has been asked to speak at a Senate-sponsored business conference as well as for the Department of the Army. In addition, LeeAnne has owned a successful award-winning public relations business for more than 20 years and is a Chamber of Commerce Past President. She is also a former journalist, editor, and managing editor of newspapers, as well as an author of countless magazine articles and several books, some of which can be found on Amazon. LeeAnne also assists authors with editing to make sure their writing is marketable, and then represents them as an agent. The inspiration she gives to others has even been compared in writing to that of Oprah!
