submission agent skill by danjdewhurst
This skill should be used when the user asks to "write a query letter", "query", "querying", "pitch", "blurb", "back cover copy", "jacket copy", "comp titles", "comparable titles", "synopsis for agents", "submit to agents", "submission tracker", "self-publishing description", "retailer description", "ready to query", "submission readiness check", "submit a short story", "magazine submission", "short-fiction markets", "simultaneous submission", "reprint rights", "order a short story collection", or wants to prepare and track a finished manuscript's submission to agents, publishers, magazines, anthologies, or retailers. NOT for pitching a series of several books (use series-continuity), or self-publishing production, metadata, or book rights deals (use publishing). The blurb, retailer description, and the rights a short-fiction market buys, such as reprint rights, stay here.
