What are some things that can make a novel manuscript stand out from the crowd when it is submitted to literary agents and publishers?

Making a novel manuscript stand out amidst the submissions to literary agents and publishers is a critical challenge. Several elements can help your work shine. Firstly, a compelling and unique concept or premise is vital. It should pique the reader's interest from the start. Craft a strong opening that hooks the reader. Well-developed characters with depth, relatability, and clear motivations make the story more engaging. A well-edited manuscript, free of grammatical errors and typos, is crucial. Moreover, showcasing your writing style and voice, creating an emotional connection with readers, and ensuring a marketable potential can help your manuscript grab the attention it deserves. Lastly, a well-crafted query letter or proposal is the gateway to making that first impression.
