There is only one way of guaranteeing that your book does NOT get published, and that's if you don't finish it. It sounds flippant but write, write, write and don't give up.
2. Someone (it might have been Sebastian Faulks) once said: don't write what you know, write what you WANT to know. A book takes an eternity to write so my philosophy has always been that you might as well write about something that you want to learn about. That way you kill two birds with one stone.
3. Be prepared to be rejected. It happens to everyone and will continue to happen no matter how successful you are. It's also worth bearing in mind that whatever you write you won't please everyone. Writing is not for the faint-hearted. You need a thick skin.(less)

“He was standing over a bed with a child asleep in it. He held the gun to her temple, feeling the softness of the skin there through the metal, as though the weapon were an extension of his hand. There was no choice with this one; there had been no choice before.”
― Jason Hewitt, The Dynamite Room
