To Submit or Not to Submit? That is The Question
Having completed the revisions of my latest opus (or is that just musical?) I'm in a dilemma. I really want to self-publish but am not in a position to do this yet. I've been thinking of trying one agent in the meantime - a newish one who I haven't tried before - but there's a problem: it's only just over 65,000 words long, so would there be any point anyway?
I'd love your views.

If an agent takes you on they may suggest revisions anyway and that may make result in it lengthening.
A question I will be asking myself later this afternoon, no doubt.
Okay, Dora.
Reveal. Which is it? ;)
Thank you very much to all of you for your replies. You are as one - and you're right, of course. I will do the submission (when I've knocked the synopsis into shape).
Liz - No,agents don't want to see all of the book unless they ask for it. Their specifications vary a bit but it's generally a synopsis and three chapters.
And well done.
