IF YOU'RE TIRED OF REJECTION, THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU.

Whether you are a novice writer or a veteran who has already had your work published, rejection is often a frustrating reality. Literary agents and editors receive and reject hundreds of manuscripts each month. While it's the job of these publishing professionals to be discriminating, it's the job of the writer to produce a manuscript that immediately stands out among the vast competition. And those outstanding qualities, says New York literary agent Noah Lukeman, have to be apparent from the first five pages.

The First Five Pages reveals the necessary elements of good writing, whether it be fiction, nonfiction, journalism, or poetry, and points out errors to be avoided, such as

* A weak opening hook

* Overuse of adjectives and adverbs

* Flat or forced metaphors or similes

* Melodramatic, commonplace or confusing dialogue

* Undeveloped characterizations and lifeless settings

* Uneven pacing and lack of progression

With exercises at the end of each chapter, this invaluable reference will allow novelists, journalists, poets and screenwriters alike to improve their technique as they learn to eliminate even the most subtle mistakes that are cause for rejection. The First Five Pages will help writers at every stage take their art to a higher -- and more successful -- level..

New York Times bestselling author Mary B. Morrison sizzles with her edgy, new novel Who's Loving You. When Honey Thomas receives a sudden stroke of good luck, she gets a second chance--and the man of her dreams. But as Honey is about to discover, anything worth having in life comes with a high price...

After police officer Sapphire Bleu steals $100,000,000 from seedy pimp Valentino James, she gives half of the money to prostitute and madam Honey Thomas. Now with her pimp in jail and enough money to make a fresh new start, Honey can leave her old life behind in Vegas and begin a new life in Atlanta, where she hopes to fulfill her dream of opening a counseling center to help victimized women. And if that weren't enough blessings to count, Honey's in love with her man Grant Hill. But just when Honey thinks she's finally getting a break, her past suddenly comes back to haunt her...

Handsome, upstanding Grant Hill is Honey's idea of perfection. He's sweet, tender, and can make love to her long into the late hours of the night. No one has ever made her feel this way before. And she's certain, Grant is falling hard for her too--until his brother, Benito Bannister, tells him about Honey's days as a hooker. Stung by Honey's betrayal, Grant wants nothing more to do with her.

Devastated by Grant's rejection, Honey isn't ready to let go of the best thing that's ever happened to her. She's got to find a way to convince him of her love. But Benito is doing everything in his power to keep her from Grant--and he's got his own deadly agenda. Teaming up with Valentino, Benito devises a plan for getting back the pimp's money.

With her life in danger, Honey goes on the run and in search of Sapphire Bleu, the only person who can help her. But when Sapphire Bleu turns up missing, Honey just might have to revert to her old tricks to save herself--and return to the only man she's ever loved....

Each week about fifty New Yorker cartoonists submit ten ideas, yielding five hundred cartoons for no more than twenty spots in the magazine Arguably the most brilliant single-panel-gag cartoonists in the world create a bunch of cartoons every week that never see the light of day.

These rejects were piling up in the dusty corners of studios all over the country. Sam Gross, who has been contributing since 1962, has more than 12,000 rejected cartoons. (Seriously. He's been numbering every single cartoon he's ever submitted to The New Yorker since the very beginning.) Enter editor Matthew Diffee. He tapped his fellow cartoonists, asking them to rescue these hilarious lost gems. From the artists' stacks of all-time favorite rejects, Diffee handpicked the standouts -- the cream of the crap -- and created The Rejection Collection, a place where good ideas go when they die. Too risqué, silly, or weird for The New Yorker, the cartoons in this book offer something no other collection has: They have never been seen in print until now.

With a foreword by New Yorker cartoon editor Robert Mankoff that explains the sound judgment, respectability, and scruples not found anywhere in these pages, and handwritten questionnaires that introduce the quirky character of each artist, The Rejection Collection will appeal to fans of The New Yorker...and to anyone with a slightly sick sense of humor..
