What to Do Before Querying :
- Finish the Full Draft: A complete, polished manuscript is essential for novels.
- Self-Edit Extensively: Go through multiple rounds of revisions to fix plot holes, character arcs, pacing, and clarity.
- Get Outside Feedback: Use critique groups, beta readers, or trusted mentors for fresh eyes on your work.
- Polish for Presentation: Ensure your manuscript is clean of glaring typos and basic errors, as we won’t rehabilitate a mess, but expect in-house editors to handle copyediting later.
