Listen "#17 The #1 Reason Agents Reject Your Middle-Grade Novel"
Episode Synopsis
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 storywhat to do if you realize you've made this mistakehow to build solid structure into your novel a workshop on how adding structure to your novel can sell your bookYou can sign up for the workshop at: loupiccolo.com/storytypeFor show notes, transcripts and links mentioned in the episode, visit my websiteYou can also connect with me on InstagramHave something to say?
