Manuscripts are vetted at so many levels. They pass from the eyes of agents to editors to marketing to sales, and while there are some variables outside of the writer's control, craft is not one of them. In the end, publishing folks seek the same thing: A good story. Every good story has certain key elements that I looked for as a marketer at Random House and even now as an agent. If the manuscript falters on any of these counts, it's a pass. In this workshop, I'll talk about several key story fundamentals that not only grab an agent or editor's attention, but that of the acquisitions board as well.
