So you have written a manuscript, had it professionally edited, and you want it published. Before you send it in to a publisher, you have to come up with a reason why they should publish your manuscript. They want to know what sets your manuscript apart from others. You should include a page as to what makes your manuscript better than the rest.

Is it going to appeal to certain groups that would show interest? Is it going to appeal to certain people that are in need of something? In other words, what is going to make your book sell better then the next person’s book? Why should the publisher spend money on you when they have so many other manuscripts? I know this seems difficult, but you have to tell them specifically why your book will sell. If you come up with a niche, you will be far ahead of everyone else trying to become published.
