  • Thank you. Since I don't think a publisher is going to knock on my front door asking for my manuscript--wouldn't it be nice, though?--any time soon, this was a help.

  • Thanks, Molly! Keep plugging away!

  • thank you so much! im a first time writer and i didnt know where to begin

  • Thank you so much for this! If a publisher does not want anything but the manuscript and a cover letter (no query) should the cover letter include a synopsis or summary?

  • Thanks for your help. I was recently asked to write a short story and send in a manuscript. The story is only suppose to have 150 words. Just to be sure, may I ask you, Should I write page 1. and this is page one. Page 2. and this is page two...ex... all on one or two 81/2x11 sheets of white paper?

  • This was helpful, thanks.
