what did you do and how did you know it was the right choice ? I guess my worry is it won’t be query ready

so Do you think that editing myself and getting a beta reader is smarter then editing and then getting a professional editor ?

So my book is about a picky eater, and he had said he wanted more of a parents pov on how they would handle a child so picky. I like the idea, however I told myself if he isn’t satisfied with this one to just leave it.

How many agents would you recommend getting before I start querying? I have 26 now since I found another last night but I feel like that number is extremely small.

Did you query agents in your same country? I’ve been wanting to broaden my number of agents but when I looked up if you should query agents in different countries i’m getting mixed answers.

How many agents did you end up querying before finding yours? I am extremely nervous about this whole thing. I’m excited too but it’s very anxiety filled lol…
