Make sure you send your manuscript to agents and publishers only when you know it’s the best it can be. If you aren’t confident about your grammar, pay someone to check it for you. If you take the time and money to invest in an editor, you’ll bring out the best in your writing. The editor can make pointers and tips to show you where you need to strengthen your manuscript.

   Know the rules of sending off a submission: No paperclips, no plastic wallets, enclose an SAE, and ensure you read the agent or publisher’s requirement’s on their website. Be professional and respectful. They’re busy people who you hope to be working with in the future.

    Good luck and happy writing!
