5 Easy Ways to Lose Readers
1. Not using Spellcheck. 2. Not knowing the difference between “to” and “too.” 3. Not knowing the difference between “lose” and “loose.” 4. Not knowing the difference between “obvious” and “oblivious.” 5. Not knowing the difference between “amused” and “bemused.”
This goes for fanfic as well as published works, and if you’re sending your manuscript to a publisher, any one of these mistakes will automatically send your manuscript into the trash and a rejection note your way.
