A couple of my publishing friends have already received submissions of work which was written for NaNoWriMo.
They've all said that these submissions are in much need of revision, and that the writers seem to have hurried to submission. Perhaps on the adrenaline rush of finishing NaNoWriMo? I don't know. But that would certainly explain the increase in submissions that agents and editors receive in the first week or two of December.
Please, do not be one of these writers. Don't blow your chances by sending your work out too soon.
Before you send your NaNo project anywhere, let it sit for a while and then spend a good amount of time revising it. You'll be glad you did.
