The first draft of my novel "The Dark One Cometh" is complete. I have edited up through the first four chapters. I posted the prologue and first three chapters at http://writing.com/authors/jimmg an online writing community for feedback.
To date the feedback has been very positive, 192 people have checked out my portfolio. What I have posted so far has maintained an average of 4 to 4.5 out of 5 stars.
I am very stoked about the great feeback, which has made me want to step up my efforts to start checking out agents.
From reading some other posts I have come to the conclusion that it is better for me to query agents rather than publishers direct.
I do not want to try running before I have the ability to crawl. Should I finish the editing the entire work before submitting it to agents for consideration?
I have heard that publishers want any work submitted to be edited, and pretty much ready for the presses.
I don't necessarily want to waste allot of time waiting to complete the edit process if I don't have to. But will if it is needed.
Any feedback will be soooo helpful.
