The free teleclass Five Reasons Why Editors Won’t Buy Your Great Ideas, taught by Diana Burrell, turned out great! Diana didn’t insult attendees’ intelligence with reasons like “You didn’t spell the editor’s name right” or “Your idea was no good” — she came up with five reasons for rejection that many writers don’t already know about. Not only that, but the 40 writers on the line asked some wonderful questions during the Q&A portion of the talk.

My favorite part was when a writer asked about why her idea was rejected by American Girl — and a former American Girl editor, who just happened to be on the line, jumped in to answer her question.

Missed the teleclass? Don’t worry — we recorded it and you can download the recording here. (The link to the sound file wasn’t working on the teleconference site, so I uploaded the file to a service called SendSpace.)

Be sure you don’t miss future classes by signing up for the e-mail list, which is where I announce new teleclasses. As a bonus, when you sign up you’ll receive a free packet of 10 query letters that worked.

I hope you enjoy the teleclass! [lf]
