I have never published a book but I am two thirds finished with a Star Trek novel. I’m a big fan of the original series and came up with my idea a couple of years ago. Now they’re coming out with a new movie based on the original characters so I think it would be a good time to be in the market with a new book.
I have a question about the guidelines for submission from Pocket Books.
The guidelines recommend that you complete only the first three chapters and then require you to find an agent to submit it to them. Most of the guidelines for finding an agent say that you should have the book finished.
Here’s the question (finally) would hurt my chances of finding an agent if I follow Pocket Books’ guidelines and sent out query letters about an unfinished manuscript?
I have a good solid synopsis and 8 finished chapters.
Thanks in advance for any help
