C.V Advice

26th January 2013

I am preparing my book for submission. My cover letter and synopsis is ready however i am stuck on the C.V. I understand that i have to be more creative than i would in a normal C.V but i'm not sure how to set it out. Should i just set it out like a normal C.V?

CV? Most agents and publishers don't want one. They ask you to write a paragraph about yourself into your covering letter. You certainly shouldn't send an ordinary CV. If you've been published it's relevant to them. If you have specialist knowledge of the subject you're writing about that is also relevant. Otherwise they don't need to know.
