Before you start sending out that manuscript to agents or editors, you might
want to read the blog post below 
to make sure you’re sending out your very best. No
writer wants their work to end up in that dreaded slush pile. On Notes
from the Slushpile, Agent Jenny Savill and author Sara Grant collaborate
and offer writing tips on revision. That’s right, revision. I talk about it all
the time. Writers, it’s part of the process. Some of Savill and Grant's advice: “ … perhaps you need to flesh out
the world of the story. Perhaps you need to rein it in. It might be that the
manuscript stays basically the same structurally and changes only in more
subtle ways, but one of the things that tends to happen is that old stuff from
earlier drafts lingers in the latest draft.”

There’s a lot
of good stuff on this post. See for yourself. Happy writing day!
