When Do You Unveil Your Work in Progress to Your Agent?
You’re slaving over your latest manuscript, denying yourself movies, TV shows, reading for pleasure — insert the carrot you hold in front of yourself here — all in the name of finishing your latest novel or non-fiction project. Now, for the sake of this argument, you already have an agent. When do you show your latest concoction to your agent? Do you wait until the manuscript is finished? Do you show to friends first? Wait for input from writing partners? Or do you just send it off when you feel it’s ready, relying on your own gut?
