Several Issues New Writers Face

I am often approached about reviewing books by new writers. About half of them aren't even worth a read. Many are self-published or subsidy published. Some are actually traditionally published and still not worth reading. About 10% or less of them are good reads.

There are three things I notice in new authors. Usually, the plot is underdeveloped, the writing is choppy, or the theme isn't clearly defined and adhered to. Please be careful of these things. Don't be in a hurry to publish. Rather be thorough in your writing, editing and rewriting. That makes all the difference in the world.
