Character Connection and Worldbuilding
In the early stages of a book, it is crucial for characters to resonate with readers. While worldbuilding is essential, it can be refined later during the editing process. Publishers look for unique and engaging character portrayals instead of seeking perfection in the manuscript. If the characters captivate the reader, they are likely to continue reading regardless of initial worldbuilding flaws.
