Oh Manuscript, Oh Manuscript! (A Holiday Carol For Writers)

For anyone who has ever submitted a query to an agent in hopes of getting published, this song will ring true! Sing to the tune "Oh, Christmas Tree".

Oh manuscript, Oh manuscript,
I long for agents calling,
with hope that they will never say
"You're storyline's appalling!"
I edit you all day and night,
to prove that I can truly write,
Oh manuscript, Oh manuscript,
I long for agents calling.

Oh manuscript, Oh manuscript,

I long for agents calling.

Revisions done, it wasn't fun.

My fingertips are bleeding.

My query's sent with greatest hope

that it will show I'm not a dope.

Oh manuscript, Oh manuscript,

I long for agents calling.

Oh manuscript, Oh manuscript,

I long for agents calling.

My hopes and dreams wait anxiously,

Rejections can be mauling.

It's ramen noodles for my next meal

Until I snag that three-book deal.

Oh manuscript, Oh manuscript,

I long for agents calling.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
