Yeah, I've got the ole Vaseline at the ready, in case this hurts.... no need to be gentle.... though I had really no idea as to where to post this so feel free to shuffle it about to another locale.
Quickly: I'm finally ready to go fishing for an agent (great timing eh, recession, e-books, diminishing returns), though poking around this site has left me with a few questions. If you would be so kind:
-How do you determine word count? Is a long book a death sentence for an as-of-yet unpublished author?
-If you have no history to provide of yourself, and include a separate synopsis, what does your query letter include? A/S/L?
-Is it old fashioned to submit via paper, does email work better these days?
-What other questions should I be asking you? Does this shirt match my eyes, should I give up on this before I start
TIA, I've a lot to still read through on your forum here (for some reason you folks provide an inordinate amount of text, go figure).
