Writing Tips
Do you know how to avoid the most common writing mistakes in your manuscripts?
Do you even know what the most common mistakes are?

Manuscript Red Flags
What mistakes do bad manuscripts contain? Here are some of the most common ones:
1. No hook on page 1
2. No hook at the end of Chapter One to compel me to read on.
3. No clear goal. (X wants to ____ because ______)
4. It starts too slow
5. It’s unoriginal.
6. Wrong facts.
7. No redeeming qualities in the antagonist
8. A protagonist who is too unlikeable
9. No overriding theme/no book goal
10. Lack of goal, conflict, disaster
11. too many characters
12. too many characters introduced too soon.
13. telling vs. showing
14. starting with someone other than the protagonist (unless it starts with a prologue)
15. not having the protagonist carry the action
16. POV switches from paragraph to paragraph. (One of my favorite western authors does this and it works for him, but he’s written more books than I can count).
17. keeping secrets from the reader.
18. characters doing things apparently unrelated to what other characters are doing.
19. Plot glitches. (Example: A Moslem mother is not going to take her newborn to the Catholic Church for baptism.)
20. Straining belief.
