Have you been sitting on that book manuscript, even though it’s done? Putting off sending your novel to literary agents and editors? Perhaps you just can’t seem to stop revising, revising, and revising some more—even though your friends and family are telling you it’s time to let go and start submitting your work for publication?

Summer is one of the best times to submit your book manuscript to agents and editors. If you want your manuscript to stick out from the crowd, consider making a push to submit your book or book proposal to literary agents and editors over the next few months.
