Hello there its peter here again from

WritersLife.org and today what are

publishers looking for getting published

is hard all writers know it yet so many

of us keep on trying to get our work

published we keep going through the long

drawn-out process of writing perfecting

and sending off her manuscripts we keep

writing synopsis and coverlets of

searching agents and editors to try and

find the best match and painfully

excruciating me sitting around I'm

waiting to hear any news we do all this

for the TV tiny one-in-a-million chance

that we might hear back from them and

that they might tell us they liked our

work and that they want to take it

forward it's a lot of effort for such a

small chance so how can we make it more

worth our while the truth is that we can

do everything right we can polish our

manuscripts to perfection we can write a

dazzling covering letter we can research

our audience and prove that there is a

readership out there but still we don't

get the response we are hoping for it

leaves us tearing our hair out staring

at our gradually thickening pile of

rejection letters and screaming what do

you want well we don't have a crystal

ball often it's because writers aren't

really honestly pay attention to or

accepting what it is that publishers

want that they see their work rejected

time and time again if we close our eyes

and ears to what they are asking we

naturally can't expect to get very far

so just what is it that publishers are

looking for they want to be dazzled by

your idea your story must be unique but

not so out there

it has no mass appeal it needs to be

mainstream enough that a lot of people

will buy or have a specific unique

audience that is hungry for it but also

needs to be strong enough to stand out

from the competition it needs to be on

trend or good enough to stand the test

of time they want the whole package

being great at writing books is no

longer enough publishers want someone

who they can rely on to get out there

and be a powerhouse of promotion - if

you are personable presentable and

passionate throughout your work you need

to make sure that comes across every

time you pitch authors can no longer

just let their work do the talking or

hide behind their stories they need to

be marketable as people - next they want

a business partner the more skills you

can bring to the table the better

publishers no longer want to take a punt

on a new author no matter how promising

they don't like risks they want to know

that by going into partnership with you

that you can produce resource and by

resource we mean book sales showing that

you have a significant social media

following they want marketing savvy that

you are passionate hard-working and

already have more books in the pipeline

this all helps publishers recognize you

as a safe bet your credentials and the

author platform will help them see this

if you can prove you already have a

creative and detailed promotional plan

and are willing to put the working this

can help you seem more appealing - so if

you want to land a traditional

publishing deal think about how you can

mold yourself and your work into these

things we've already mentioned these

days a writer needs to be so much more

than just a writer so if you can

prove you have the business know-how as

well as the skill go for it and don't

forget if he's struggling to write or

for this your book our free writers

how to overcome procrastination get
