Wooooo! I'm so excited! I've been tentatively sending out a few query letters, and today I got my first request for a partial. Since I've come to realize my query letter is the weakest link in this whole shebang (THANK YOU so much to those of you who commented on it in SYW - I am still working on fixing it up according to the crits), I'm stoked.
Couple questions - he doesn't accept simultaneous submissions. I have also submitted to another agency that only accepts the full manuscript + synopsis straight off. Is this considered a simultaneous submission? I'm not sure how to address this.
Another thing that's asked for is author's writing credits. I have zilch. I'm not much of a short story writer and I never bothered trying to publish earlier efforts (thank goodness!). Should I just leave those off altogether, or put N/A or something?
Thank you in advance!
**EDIT**
Oh, and he wants a hard copy. Should I put anything on the envelope so they know what it is?
