The "Twins" discover snow.
I won't be finishing any other items from the dummy before I send it out. I have two finishes and the cover plus the inside sketches. That is normally enough. The text is also added inside the dummy. There is space below the cubs on this page for the two or three sentences for this page. The ms goes with the dummy book, a resume, and a cover sheet. If the publisher states that they do answer queries or submissions I enclose a business size envelope, stamped and addressed to me. If not, I have to be aware that they may not answer and simply recycle the whole submission. That is the best reason for only finishing one or two illustrations, and sending only copies of the work.
