When you’re ready to submit your novel or comic book to an agent or publisher, these tips will help you make the sell.
1. The only goal of your submission is to convince a publishing professional that your novel or comic book is likely to sell thousands of copies. Nothing else matters.
2. Follow the instructions on their website. Most agents and publishers will have submissions pages that lay out what they want to see. In most cases, it’s best to provide just what’s on the list and nothing else. (Exception: if you’re submitting a comic book script, consider submitting some inked or colored pages even if they aren’t required– these pages will help the editor decide very quickly whether your proposal is serious).
3. Check your spelling, punctuation and grammar. Trying to impress a publishing professional without clean writing is like trying to run a filthy restaurant. It really doesn’t matter how good the cooking is–customers will run out screaming anyway. Proofread or perish. Not many publishing professionals would bet tens of thousands of dollars on an unpolished writer.
