I have two PB manuscripts that I am ready to start sending to publishers. I have 10 years of writing experience, but this will be my first time dabbling in books.
I would love to hear what your experience was like working with publishers when you had an agent vs you acting on your own. I am curious about pay difference as well, keeping in mind that those that accept unsolicited manuscripts are often smaller publishers.
I am going to try to wing it on my own at first, but am not opposed to an agent. I guess I just want to see if I can do it.
My other question is - if a publisher doesn't explicitly say to not send in multiple submissions, but also doesn't invite multiple submissions, can I send in both manuscripts assuming they are both a good fit? How would you suggest doing that - two query letters? Or one query covering both books? One manuscript per submission email or mail packet? Or both? Again, assuming there is no instruction.
Thank you!
