    Ok, so I have just sent off A Thing. So am freeeee. MOnthly comp and MA course on the agenda… 🙂

    • Well done! What’s the thing, if you don’t mind my asking?

      • Ah well, nothing now, apparently. Was revised version of TIOU that publisher requested. But they’ve replied saying they’ve closed their list.
        Hey ho. Would have been nice if they’d told me.

        • Back in the bin I go.

          • Oh FFS! That is utterly shitty and so unprofessional! Surely if they requested it you bypass their closed list status? My agent had closed her lists when I sent her the thing she’d requested a year earlier and she still took it. That is RUBBISH and I am furious on your behalf.

            • Do they know it’s the thing they requested? I mean it wasn’t just a standard response?

            • No, they know. I replied to their last email saying ‘don’t worry if it takes a few months. We’re not going anywhere.’…

        • Well that sucks massively. What a shabby performance

      • That is utter crap! Seriously unfair.

        • Seriously unprofessional too, imo

          • Agree 100%

            • I would say unbelievable, but – sadly – I can believe it. It is truly appalling behaviour that wouldn’t be tolerated in most professions. It is no surprise that so many people, good writers, are turning to self-pub. I’m so sorry, Raine. Can you name the guilty? Quite understand if you don’t want to.
