Do you keep getting desk rejections? Does it feel like your best ideas never make it past the editor’s decision?

Hey co-authors! In this episode, we’ll dig into the most common reasons submissions get desk rejected and, more importantly, what you can do to fix them. Along the way, I’ll also share some behind-the-scenes insights from the editor’s chair and practical strategies to get your work past the editor’s desk and into the review pipeline.

In this episode, you'll learn how to:

  • Spot the hidden differences between a solid paper and a publishable article
  • Avoid the five most common pitfalls that lead to instant desk rejection
  • Position your work so editors and reviewers see its value from the start

Desk rejections can feel like a gut punch, but they can also but they’re also an opportunity to improve.  If you’ve ever felt stuck at the desk-reject stage, this episode will help you understand what’s going on, how to adjust your approach, and how to position your writing so that it gets the attention it deserves.
