what does 'mss' mean in regards to a book script?

when literary agents and publishers talk about MSS, does it stand for manuscript, or something else?

The traditional abbreviations are ms for manuscript and mss for manuscripts. (The second s is not simply the plural; by an old convention, it doubles the last letter of the abbreviation to express the plural, just as pp means "pages".)
