#2: Initial revision
For a submission (to a grant program, competition, agent, or publisher) that asks for sample chapters, which chapters do you choose? For example, a grant program for unfinished works I'm interested in wants 3 sample chapters. They don't specify which ones. Do you go in order? Include the prolog? Add another chapter if one is quite short? Do three consecutive chapters that aren't from the beginning? Is it better to skip around, to choose the best chapters even if they lack context? Or better to show a story progression? **What chapter choices lead to the strongest submission?**
