Book Review: The Author’s Checklist




The Author's Checklist
An Agent's Guide to Developing and Editing Your Manuscript
by Elizabeth K. Kracht



Pub Date 14 Feb 2020  


I am reviewing a copy of The Author’s Checklist through New World Library and Netgalley:


In The Author’s Checklist we are reminded that even good manuscripts are going to have weak spots, and that there’s a large gap between what authors think are ready for publications and what agents and other in the publishing profession believe are ready.






Elizabeth Kracht does tell us that there is good news though, most of the problems seen with these manuscripts can be fixed easily once the readers sees and understands the problems.  The weak spots can be made stronger, leading to a better Manuscript.





Elizabeth Kracht points out that many manuscripts have the same issues so she begins to make a short list of pitfalls, in short easy to read chapters.


The Author’s Checklist covers everything from Acknowledgements, to World Building.  The book is written in laymen’s terms, allowing for anyone to understand the book.  


I give The Author’s Checklist five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!
