I've written a memoir and have been querying agents. I've had some requests for fulls and partials. But today I got a request for the proposal, which I don't have.
My query says that the memoir is complete and gives the word count. I don't mention a proposal.
I'm wondering if I should respond with my full ms, or pull together a proposal for this agent? Or, can I respond and say I have the ms available now but would need a week or so to prepare a proposal?
Everything I read says that memoir should be queried like fiction, so I am caught a little off guard by the proposal request...Yet, I don't want to blow the opportunity.
Thanks in advance for any advice
