sending in the "package"
Uncle Jim, once a newbie finishes his/her novel, has revised ad nauseum, has had the beta-philes add their comments and revised yet again, and is finally ready to submit to targeted literary agents, what does the submission "package" look like?
If you have to send in a one-page cover letter, a four- to five-page short synopsis, and the first three chap's, how are they bound and presented? This may sound foolish but I know protocal is strict for screenplays, so I'm assuming the same for novels. Are the pages of the synopsis stapled, paper-clipped, or loose? What about the pages for the chapters; are they stapled, paper-clipped, or loose? And are all three entities (the cover letter, the synopsis, the chap's) paper-clipped or loose? Excuse my ignorance and paranoia, but if protocal is strict for presentation, I don't want to screw it up.
Thanks.
