As I fall into my fifth year of submitting my novels, it occurred to me I have made some shocking mistakes over the years: submitting half finished chapters, no chapter headings, sending a generic email to agents (we've all done it) but I think my doozy is when I was first starting out, I didnt know the difference between non-fiction and fiction. Pretty naive and noobie thing to do right?
I thought about this the other day and I realised I probably sent out half a dozen submissions to publishers saying my fiction book was non-fiction! Needless to say I never heard them any of them. Now, I can't seem to envision how on earth I got it wrong. What they say is correct: you learn from your mistakes.
What are some of yours?
