But the fact is that that long of a letter has a much less chance of getting noticed. Did you know that Laura Ingalls Wilder tried, unsuccessfully to get an earlier version of Little House on the Prairie published, but kept getting turned down. It was only after her daughter helped her reshape the story into a more readable form that it took off. The same for Corrie Ten Boom. An earlier, version of the Hiding Place hardly sold at all. It was only after Johna and Elizabeth Sherrill revamped the story that it became popular. Both are great stories, but they needed to be in the proper form.

Content is important, but delivery is also just as important.
