Be Ready for Action When You Query

For some authors, there is a great temptation to query before a manuscript is polished, or in some cases, even before it's finished. Let me add my voice to the the horde of others crying out for patience in this matter. I had an agent request a partial less than five minutes after I sent my query. Another agent requested a full one day after my query. If I hadn't been ready with a full manuscript, I would have been in an embarrassing position with both those ladies.

So, resist the temptation to query before it's time.
