I got a full request but...

Madison · May 23, 2008

...I have a beta reading my ms and she has found some typos/left out words, etc. She's about 3/4 of the way through, and since she's pretty fast, I bet she'll be done by this weekend.

Is it okay for me to wait a few days before I send off the full? I obviously want the ms to be perfect.

*fingers crossed!*

IceCreamEmpress · May 23, 2008

Yay! Congratulations on the full request.

And yes, it's fine to take a few days. Anything over a week is problematic, but getting the MS to the agent within a week of the request is fine.

Madison · May 23, 2008

Okay, good to know. THanks!

Congrats

Best of luck

Work your ass off for the next week. Good luck!

windyrdg · May 24, 2008

Congratulations. Is it possible to get the first half so you can start inputting changes? I find that it takes me over a week to make the final polish before sending a manuscript off.

stormie · May 24, 2008

Yep. Don't mail it 'til it's ready. But, as others have said, try to get it out within a week. Congrats and fingers crossed for you!

JamieFord · May 24, 2008

Yep. Good luck!

maestrowork · May 24, 2008

Yeah, take a week. Just because you have a full request now doesn't mean you have to send it like this very moment.

You should always send the best.

And good luck!

(that said, I'm surprised you queried already when your betas are still reading it)
