What to send me (simple, straight to the point)
* query letter for your finished, revised and polished novel-length work of fiction
* first five pages
* synopsis of no more than five pages
It’s amazing people blow their chances by sheer laziness. Might as well send a sign saying: I DON’T KNOW HOW TO BE A PROFESSIONAL but indulge me anyway.
oops! forgot to put “how” between amazing and people
The only thing that I don’t like about this is the fact that my prolog is five and a half pages long. I don’t want to send it in and have anyone think I can’t follow simple rules.
