Why does your query or manuscript keep getting rejected? Find out!

Get one-on-one personalized attention from the experts at Writer's Digest — including professional feedback on the first 50 pages of your manuscript.

Rejection is the No. 1 most difficult challenge for any writer. You often don't get feedback with a rejection—aside from "not right for us at this time"—so you don't know why you're getting rejected, or if there are problems in your work that you could easily fix or adjust.

To someone inside the industry, the reasons for rejection are always obvious—but writers rarely recognize the red flags in their query or manuscript, problems that are often in the very opening lines of their queries or manuscripts!

If you're feeling frustrated or unsure what to do next, this event was custom made for you. You'll get a full day of hands-on workshops that show you all the red flags, and also specify what makes your work attractive to editors and agents.

But most importantly: We read the first 50 pages of your manuscript, and during a one-on-one, 30-minute appointment, tell you the reasons why you're probably getting rejected.
