There is a big difference between debut authors and established authors, whether they are famous or not. A difference that lies precisely in that term, beginner , that is, someone who begins the activity of writing. In reality it is not even appropriate as a noun or adjective, because it presumes publication has already occurred. Maybe “aspiring writer”? Correct if we consider that someone who proposes a manuscript to a publishing house wants to pursue a career as a writer. So how do we define the deluded people who send manuscripts in the hope of being noticed by a publisher? It's fine to call them rookies, but in the context of a future publication.
The uncertainty is therefore taken for Phone Number List granted: that that publication occurs, that the manuscript does not remain ignored or rejected. “The first impression is the one that counts”: that is, the test of the debutant I'm not a lover of proverbs and sayings, but a beginner can't make mistakes, he can't fail his first test in front of a publisher. His first manuscript will say everything about that author: if he knows how to write, first of all – if he therefore knows how to master his language, if he has a style, if he knows the existence of grammar above all. But even if he knows the canons of the literary genre , because every narrative genre requires its own rhythm, its own language, its own style too. Nothing is forgiven for the beginner: his manuscript must be perfect.
He is not a famous footballer who uses the conditional instead of the subjunctive. He is not a politician to whom publishers open their doors, nor an actor, nor a singer, nor someone who has tens of thousands of people following him on social networks. He is the unknown par excellence : he must gain the trust of the publishing house, he must have sales potential. The sales potential of the newcomer It's almost nothing. Let's start from this assumption. We had the audacity to send a manuscript to a publisher who, if interested, would respond to us within two months – or 3, or 5, or even 6 or even not set a time limit at all, leaving us in a perpetual Hamlet-like doubt – and with that manuscript sent we already lost from the start.
