3. Submitting Your Manuscript

No need for fancy type-faces and silly little clip arts on your completed manuscript. Just make sure it's legible and neat.
Always enclose a brief letter to the publisher.
These days, editors don't need the whole manuscript to decide whether they're going to publish or not; a synopsis and a few sample chapters will usually suffice.
I recommend that you send your manuscript to different publishers at the same time, but always let them know they are a=not the only people being approached.

And if they won't take your manuscript, remember cyberspace! You can always build a website and publish your story yourself.
