So. I've sent out a few queries out for my memoir. And I've had three bites. The first two asked for sample writing - yay - easy to send. The most recent agent just said: "Please send it along."
But, um, I do not have a full manuscript to send her. I have a polished 50 page sample, a 75 page sample, and a chapter overview.
Have I totally screwed up by querying something I don't have a full manuscript for? I was under the impression sample pages and a proposal would do the trick for creative nonfiction, by someone who is already a published author.
The question is this - how do I reply to the agent. Do I just send her the sample and see what happens… or?
