Maybe your manuscript is done and maybe it isn’t. In deciding I usually follow the Cantstandit litmus test. When I can’t stand even the sight of the manuscript anymore, then it’s time to send it in. Either that or my deadline is up. But I found an article in the blogosphere to aid those not quite as circumspect as I.
Big Bad Book Blog’s post begins thusly:
Forget all that business about checking a publisher’s submission guidelines before you send your manuscript in. The most important consideration when you’re preparing to take a project to the next level is whether your work itself is ready, fully conceptualized and mature. Who cares about typeface and font size if the content is half-baked? There’s no setting for “masterpiece” on my egg timer, but these guidelines will help you know when to call it done.
