VMI’s Writer Q & A for January: When Is a Manuscript Ready to Be Submitted?

When do you know the manuscript is finished or polished enough to send it out? Nikki Hillman

This is the most frequent question that plagues writers, Nikki. We tackled part of this question in my September 4^th Writer Q & A post but I will elaborate more this month because it’s such a vexing question with so many variables!

In my September 4^th post I wrote:

“…writers struggle with [this question] no matter how much you have published… you will say “I’ve finished it” several times before you have…this happens throughout one’s entire writing life.”

Having just finished the final, 11^th hour tweaking on my Final Proofs for Oscar of Between this morning, this process is very fresh in my mind! Click here for Betsy Warland’s three tips.
