Have you ever noticed that when someone asks you a question and they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like the answer, they will ask you the question again\u00e2\u20ac\u201dsometimes rephrasing it?<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153How much are you selling your car for?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153$10,000.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What will you take for it?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153$10,000.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What if I give you $5,000 down?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153$10,000.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Is that a firm price?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Yes.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d sure like to have that car, but I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t go the ten grand. Will you work with me?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Not likely.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Will you be lowering the price anytime soon?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
I relive this sort of scenario every week. People contact me and say, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I read in your book, The Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book<\/em>, that publishers don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t allow simultaneous manuscript submissions. How many copies of my manuscript can I send out at one time?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153One.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n Or they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll say, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153My editor says that I have some spacing errors in my manuscript. I see in your book, The Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book <\/em>that you agree with her\u00e2\u20ac\u201dit is now one-space after the period, question mark, etc. Does this mean I have to go back through my entire manuscript and delete the extra space after every sentence?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Yes.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n We want to hear what we want to hear. But, in publishing, we need to hear what we need to hear in order to experience the success we desire. This is why I say, listen to experts with an open mind, embrace those things that resonate with you, but also be willing to consider the truths that don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t feel real comfortable at first. Examine them from all angles, check them out with other publishing professionals and be flexible enough to change where and when appropriate.<\/p>\n If you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have a copy of The Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book <\/em>and the companion Author\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Workbook<\/em>, order yours now at http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/rightway.html<\/a\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Have you ever noticed that when someone asks you a question and they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like the answer, they will ask you the question again\u00e2\u20ac\u201dsometimes rephrasing it? \u00e2\u20ac\u0153How much are you selling your car for?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153$10,000.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What will you take for it?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153$10,000.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What if I give you $5,000 down?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153$10,000.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Is that a firm price?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
