3. Ready to Query? Agent Jessica Faust suggests a good edit before you touch that send button.
4. Is it soup yet? On the Author 2 Author blog, they ponder the question: When is a manuscript ready to be submitted?
5. If you think your manuscript may have a problem—it does. Chuck Sambuchino discusses the reasons your sample pages are getting rejected.
