Discover how to craft a manuscript that immediately stands out and avoids the rejection pile from New York literary agent Noah Lukeman.

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 an unforgettable manuscript. And this must be apparent within the first five pages.

With insight and accessible advice, 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, uneven pacing, and more.

With exercises at the end of each chapter, this valuable 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.

Smells Amazing and Works Fabulous!
Sun protection factor: 50 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love the smell of Hawaiian Tropic sunblock. Not only does it smell delicious, it lasts better than any others I have used. I put it on and wait for at least 15 minutes before going into the sun so it can set in. When I am outside I reapply about once an hour. If I am in the water I tend to reapply at least every 45 minutes. This product does its job without being greasy or heavy.

Go-To for Reef-Safe & Light-Weight Sunscreen
Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Favorite sunblock to travel with. Appreciate the simplicity of it, and the fact that it rolls on and rubs in smooth. Of course the iconic scent is also a plus.

Great choice
Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
After I suffered a second-degree burn from steam, I was told by my doctor that I would have to keep my new fresh skin sun-blocked for up to a year to avoid any scarring or hyper pigmentation. This has been a great selection as it is a roll-on, Which helps a lot with preventing messes that can happen with traditional sunblock bottles. I also like that it is easy to travel with, and the fact that it is zinc based.
