Thanks Jonathan Sir :)
i am from Pakistan, english is not our first language, its difficult for me but i wanna do, i wanna be author :)
and ur advice are so important to me :)
On the editing/proofreading side, I'd try to make sure your MS is as good as it can be regards structure and spelling before you send it to any agent. Punctuation - that's just as important, IMO, but having seen extracts of some published works which seem to ignore it completely, maybe I'm in a minority these days.
The critical thing is making a good first impression.
Best of luck.
Thank you John, i certainly don't wish to self publish
and i have few agents in pipeline have to just contact them but wanna make sure i don't have to pay anything because at this stage i am just a university student and if thats the case i have to wait for few years, i know its hard to find an agent but i have to do it :)
anyways thanks for your reply it means a lot to me :)
