We have a number of
publishers that move very quickly on non-fiction
submissions.
Would you please take a minute and
answer the following questions? Copy
and paste the questions below into an email, and then email non-fiction@wlwritersagency.com
and we will get it to the right people.
Just "dash off" the
answers, that's all we need for the initial evaluation. (If this
is newly published, or POD, just put Not Applicable (n/a) when
appropriate.) If the answers are on a website somewhere,
just give us the link.
Please DO NOT put the answers
inside an attachment, we're all gun shy of viruses in attachments.
Don't worry about making it pretty "Just the facts mam"
to quote an old TV show. (grin)
