#17 The #1 Reason Agents Reject Your Middle-Grade Novel


Listen Later

What's more important for your novel: great language or great story? 

If you answered 'great story', you've got it right! 

While great language is important too, it won't carry your story idea through a full-length middle-grade novel and, by itself, it's not a story. 

If you submit a novel to an agent without solid story structure, it will be rejected

If you think your novel lacks structure, in this episode, I cover:

  • why so many writers make the mistake of choosing language over story
  • what to do if you realize you've made this mistake
  • how to build solid structure into your novel 
  • a workshop on how adding structure to your novel can sell your book
