Roto-Rooter for the Fiction Writer

The Connecticut Chapter of Romance Writers of America Presents:

Author and Bram Stoker Award finalist, Fran Friel, says, “It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that zing.”

Your manuscript finally gets to the editor’s desk, but what makes it shine from the murky depths of slushville?  It’s that Zing, baby!  It’s the thing that makes your writing uniquely compelling.  So, how do you get your Zing to sing?
