I have a question and was hoping you'd have some advice - at what point in the editing process would you submit your book to an agent or publisher? I have written the book, and done one edit. I have had someone else read it, and am now working on my second edit, so third draft. Problem is, I am now very busy with work etc and just don't see myself doing a fourth round this year. Also, my book is very zeitgeist, so already in my edits I am having to make a lot of changes as times change, especially on parts of the novel I wrote in 2008 - small things, like turning the character's flip phone into an i-phone, or songs that are on the radio. So I am not sure - start sending the book to agents after this edit anyway, or wait until I'll be able to find time to do more work on it? I feel like I have lost all perspective about whether it is good or not.
