I've always loved writing; have entered a few competitions over the years and had the odd short story or poem do well, but have never looked at doing an actual book. However, I've had an idea brewing for a while and have finally done a full synopsis, character list etc., and have started writing :)
Once it's finished (note the optimism here! Assuming it gets finished...), what do I do then? Do I submit to agents? How do I know which agents to submit to? Do I need the whole book finished before I start looking at agents? Also, who do I get to proof read it?
Many thanks in advance!
