On Writing a Book by Bruce Catton
The essay notes that new writers enter a highly competitive field where many publish yearly while many works are middling or poor. It warns aspiring authors that success is not guaranteed and that persistence matters in getting a good yarn printed.
Publishing houses reject most manuscripts and odds for success
The article notes EB Dutton and Co plans 42 spring titles chosen from over 10 000 submissions with about 1500 worthy of serious consideration. Only 10 are first books by new authors. 32 are by well known writers. Odds for aspiring authors are about one in a thousand. It warns the money is unlikely to follow publication and advises caution before pursuing writing as a career. The Senate Naval Committee approves a 980 million construction bill, but passage is not a binding commitment to spend and may reflect Geneva talks rather than armament buildup.
