Query Letter Series - #2
Prep Your Manuscript
If you are planning on sending part of or your whole manuscript out with your query letter, make sure your manuscript is in perfect condition before sending it out. One of the things that may turn off agents, editors or publishing houses is mistake in the first few pages. It will may stop them reading right in their tracks.
The longer the piece the more time you will probably send editing it. A novel will need more time on the editing process.
Some agents will request synopsis of longer pieces beforing even requesting a manuscript. Also, always check with agency to see how they perfer receiving materials.
