#17 The #1 Reason Agents Reject Your Middle-Grade Novel
Update: 2025-11-09
Description
What's more important for your novel: great language or great story?
If you answered 'great story', you've got it right!
While great language is important too, it won't carry your story idea through a full-length middle-grade novel and, by itself, it's not a story.
If you submit a novel to an agent without solid story structure, it will be rejected.
If you think your novel lacks structure, in this episode, I cover:
- why so many writers make the mistake of choosing language over story
- what to do if you realize you've made this mistake
- how to build solid structure into your novel
- a workshop on how adding structure to your novel can sell your book
