Unsolicited Manuscript is an independently-run newsletter. All opinions are my own and do not reflect those of my employer, company, or any other organization.
37, wow, this is quite a bit! Now's the time to query then, grab our chance.
I'm thinking about some 'what the hell' querying, I'm working on my pitch, synopsis, letter, etc and I'm finally - for now - done tinkering with my novel and it's finally at a point I'm happy with. It's in the hands of a few trusted beta readers as we speak.
(That said, I woke up in the middle of the night after some weird book dreams and then thought of something else I need to do! It's never-ending 😭)
