What about if the manuscript is finished but not polished?
It's best if it's ready, but if you can polish in 1-3 weeks, then you should go for it.
It is a fascinating process which sets one off on a journey. Real thrillers often stem from the fact that the writer has the ending figured out.
It's going to be a fun day. :)
It's almost time!!!
