AQ

Yesterday, Bob received the manuscript and emailed me the Author’s Questionnaire, or “AQ,” a ten-part series of questions designed to furnish the publisher with basic information about the manuscript.

This morning I began to fill it out. Two parts, a listing of individuals who might be willing to evaluate and comment on the manuscript, and a list of competitive books, were easy to fill out — thanks to my efforts late last year to identify people to review the draft manuscript, and my original book proposal for Union Faces, which included a section on competitive books.
