Basically my novel is split in half, divided into "Book I" and "Book II" . . . and each "book" is subtitled and has a quote on its title page. Do I include this in the manuscript when I submit it? I mean, if they only ask for 5 pages, it seems silly to waste one full page on the subtitle and quote. I wouldn't do that! But what if they request the full manuscript? Should I include the subtitled pages and quotes then? Or do I wait until I have a contract with an agent and then mention, "Oh, by the way, I wanted to divide the book into parts. . . ."
In a similar vein (just out of curiosity) at what point do I submit an author's note, or acknowledgements/dedication? Is that something that comes later, once a publisher's shown interest? Or do I include those in the original manuscript that I submit to agents?
