BTR's World of Ink Network Featured Show: Special Edition of What is Success with Guest Author Otis Rich

Join Marsha Casper Cook & VS Grenier on a special edition of the What is Success show November 26, 2012 at 2pm EST - 1pm CDT - 12 (noon) MDT - 11am PST

The What is Success show hosts will be discussing the crushing rejection letter and what writers need to understand about traditional publishers.

The hosts will be joined by author Otis Rich, who has traveled over half the United States and has made a lifetime study of people, trying to learn what motivates them as they live out the drama of life. One thing to keep in mind as you read his stories is some of the things Otis Rich writes about may seem to be so fantastic it must be pure fantasy -- yet sometimes the truth is more fantastic than fiction.

Of course, sometimes I find I do not get as much sleep as I need because of it all.

Five Tips for a More Marketable Children’s Picture Book Manuscript by Mayra Calvani

If you’re an aspiring children’s author, you need to make sure your manuscript is in excellent shape and has all the elements editors and agents look for before you begin the submission process.
