-
Q: How do I know if my work has arrived?
- A:
The Post Office, UPS, FedEx, and DHL all have reliable tracking systems.
It is your responsibility to track your work.
- Q:
Will I receive an evaluation of my work if you choose not to represent
it?
- A:
Unfortunately, given the volume of queries and submissions that we
receive (Average 200 per week), it is impossible for us to offer such
evaluations. However, if we offer you representation but still believe
that your work needs some editing, we will then of course provide
a detailed analysis.
- Q:
Does Nancy read the entire work in order to make a decision?
- A:
With Non-Fiction proposals, she reads
it entirely. With Fiction manuscripts she reviews the work on a selection
basis; this means that she reads roughly the first 50 pages and then
scans passages throughout the rest of the manuscript to determine
if the essential elements of a good novel are consistently present.
If that preliminary reading is promising, Nancy then reads the entire
manuscript
- Q:
How should I pack my materials?
- A:
Please do not use packaging peanuts, or recycled newspaper-cushioned
mailers. Simple packaging is best and excessive use of tape is unnecessary.
