I am kicking myself. Just started the query process after finishing my first novel (7 years in the making.) I received a request for my first 50 pages about 12 hours after querying a featured writer's digest agent. I googled how to submit a partial as there were no guidelines listed on the agency's website other than "learn about the process and don't screw up, "and was careful to number my pages (in the wrong spot- bottom center) and include my original query, synopsis and title page with my contact information. I didn't find anything saying to submit double spaced, so I sent this single spaced.
I am so mad and upset at myself. I hope she doesn't reject me on sight of this. Submitted about 3 weeks ago I have been struggling with this for 2 weeks now, not knowing whether I should send an apology with a double spaced submission or just wait it out. I hope I didn't ruin a rare opportunity as a complete novice with no credits.
Please tell me whether I still have a chance with her.
Thank you,
Jackie
