Dear Ready Writer …
Agents don’t want authors to submit multiple manuscripts at once. Instead, a great strategy is to have three or four picture book manuscripts READY so that when an agent likes the ONE manuscript you submitted and asks you what else you’ve got, you can share the others with them spit-spot. For now, submit just one.
Happy writing!
