If you have questions about how to turn your first draft into a polished, submittable manuscript, we're here with a professional who can give you some answers!

Literary agent and editor Elizabeth K. Kracht is here to talk to us today about her new book, "The Author’s Checklist: An Agent’s Guide to Developing and Editing Your Manuscript."

The bad news: even really good manuscripts have weak spots that are enough to garner rejections from agents and publishers.

The good news: most of these problems are easy to fix — once the writer sees and understands them.

After several years of evaluating manuscripts, literary agent Elizabeth Kracht noticed that many submissions had similar problems, so she began to make a list of the pitfalls. "The Author’s Checklist" offers her short, easy-to-implement bites of advice, illustrated by inspiring — and cautionary — real-world examples. Most aspiring authors yearn for a friend in book publishing. The Author’s Checklist is just that.

Some of the points Liz will cover include:
--Why don’t agents give feedback on submissions?
--Is author platform as important for fiction writers?
--Do you have interns that read cold submissions first?
--What do you think is the most effective method for a writer to get noticed?
--What is your advice for pitching an agent at a conference?
--What are the top three tips author’s can do to get their manuscript agent ready?

Elizabeth K. Kracht is a literary agent with Kimberley Cameron & Associates, and a freelance editor. She often participates in writers’ conferences nationally and internationally and lives in Tiburon, California.
