10 Reasons Your Book Is Rejected (By Agents & Editors)

Rejection is par for the course in publishing but WHY are literary agents and publishers rejecting you? I'm sharing 10 reasons agents and editors may be rejecting you, from a bad query, to a bad book, to just not loving your book enough.

And these are just SOME of the reasons! There are many more, but when I talk to literary agents, editors, fellow authors, and consider my own experiences reading queries for Author Mentor Match, these are the ones that really jumped out.
