First partial/full manuscript request.

Merit badge: Torn half of a manuscript page

Merit badge: Complete manuscript

Earn the “first partial manuscript request” or “first full manuscript request” merit badge when an agent or editor you’ve queried asks to see more of your work. Goodbye, slushpile! (Here’s hoping, anyway.)

Today’s Request Week badges are going out to Adam. Thanks, Adam! May many pleasant requests be in your future.

Part of the merit badges for writers series. The badge may be posted on your site or blog. Tell us why you’ve earned (or will never earn) it in the comments.

    Love this! I think every author should post these on their blogs and websites when they have good news to share.

    I realized only today–two weeks late–that you had posted these. Thank you! They look great. I will have one up on my site soon. And thanks for the link.
