Writing a novel isn’t easy. However, there is an abundance of new writers who have completed their first one. I say kudos to them. These new writers have stuck to the time constraints of writing. They’ve fought through getting every word on the page until they can type, The End on a finished work. What an accomplishment. The next step in the new writer’s eye is to pitch this work to a publisher or agent.
STOP! Do not pass go. There are steps you may have missed. As I said earlier, writing a novel isn’t easy, and just putting the words on the page doesn’t a novel make. New writers often assume that once the work is written, it’s ready.
