I enjoyed this piece by editor Nick Harrison about the importance of getting both the story and the language right.
I'm currently slogging through finalizing the language part of my (overdue) book. I appreciated the affirmation that it's worth the multiple drafts to get it as good as I can before I push 'send' on the final version.
With which aspect do you struggle more--story or language?

When a manuscript is rejected, it’s often because the writer has failed on either the story level or the language level…or both.
