Hi forum
I've finished a non-fiction manuscript, found some test readers, and did a couple of adjustments. Structure and content wise I feel confident to send it out to an agent. But I'm not an English native speaker hence grammar and text flow have room for improvement, the manuscript definitively needs copy editing work. In case an agent requests the manuscript, would you:
1) send the manuscript in the current form to the agent and expect the publisher doing copy editing later or
2) engage a professional copy editing service first before sending the manuscript to the agent?
