Check over your texts before submitting them, especially when you are creating a query letter.
Here's a couple of tips:
White space: make sure there is only one between words.
Quotations: The fist letter inside a quote should be capitalised. Now, there is a little
more to it than that (for example, a quote such as the following:
"Oh gee," Mary said, "look at him!" notice that this quote is split in two,
the second part of the quote begins with lower case, where the first
part begins with upper case.) there are other rules for different situations.
Grammar is important, it may not be to you, but if you wish to be a published author; get it right.
