In that a memoir is somewhere between a fiction sub and a nonfiction sub (as form not as fact versus fiction) how much is the "right" amount for agents to send to publishers on submission?
Other than "it depends" I'm curious what people who have sold a memoir in the last year or two have found to work best....two or three chapters, half the book or the whole book?
With my agents we've tried just two chapters and we're about to go out again with 5 (100 pages of MS).
Any thoughts?
