Another Nugget of Wisdom
Something from the agenting point of view, rather than the writer's.
MANUSCRIPT FORMAT! Put your name on every page. I'm sorting through a pile of submissions with "yes" or "no" written on them. Some of them don't have emails on them.
Look, people, if you don't use manuscript format there is no reason for us to even look at your work. Some of us do it out of kindness. Some of us (me) are losing our kindness fast.

Nice meeting you today. Stupid question: What is manuscript format?
I'm hatching a plan to steal Nathan Bransford's kindle. I can cut you in on the deal, but ya gotta promise to keep mum.
Hmm, I've been putting the title on every page instead of my name. I hope that's as acceptable.
So, does that mean you didn't read my pink-on-purple, right justified, wingding 6-point font manuscript? Bastard!
