Hints: Worst mistakes: 1) Typos/grammatical errors; 2) Failing to research what we actually publish. Fiction will not be reviewed by us.; 3) Claims that are preposterous: 'It will sell a million copies!'; 4) Overdone phrases; statements like: 'In the tradition of Chicken Soup and Don't Sweat the Small Stuff' and 'In the wake of 9/11'.
