This is SO SO SO fantastic! And what a ride! Laure really has worked so hard for this, constantly writing and submitting short stories, going on courses, writing and re-writing her novel(s), and continually striving for her break. SO PROUD OF HER!

Don’t anyone worry about the monthly competition. Janette and Jane or anyone else, please don’t feel any pressure to participate. I understand.

😀 I guess March is proving a little distracting. But I think a mini prompt might be just the thing for week one of homeschooling!

Blimey – and I think my son’s nuts for setting his sights on a bass that’s selling for £5K!
Mind you, he’s got one custom built bass, courtesy of Mr Squidge, and apparently he plans to build another custom ‘normal’ guitar this summer, so who knows what they’ll be worth in years to come…?

Coming to this late…but hugs to both Hil and Janette… Agents can be beetles at times, can’t they? Fill us full of hope and then dash us down. We are stronger than they think though – we get back up and live to fight another day, and keep writing, whatever they say.
Hil, your writing is gorgeous, and you have deservedly got agent interest.…[Read more] -

Hullo Denizens! Apologies I’ve not been visible recently; have had a few issues with logging in, and I’ve been working on Tildas 3 & 4. And I’ve been on retreat…
Remember Conker and Moira from the Cloud? They run writing retreats and I booked myself onto their Spring one last week, and have written three blogs about the experience. The first is…[Read more]

Another interesting blog, Richard, thank you.

Hilary replied to the topic Recent agent experience in the forum Blogs 6 years, 2 months ago
Thanks, Jill and Philippa. I’m getting over the experience! But I still want to find a balanced overview about 1) whether book club fiction is a thing, and 2) whether age matters. I’m prepared to accept that it isn’t (as far as pitching to editors is concerned) and it does, but I’d still want an agent who said ‘We’ll show them …’ rather than…[Read more]

I think if Debi says Book Club/Reading Group fiction is a thing and other agents identify it as something they’re looking for, you can be 100% sure it exists. For the age, maybe it does make a difference to some editors/agents (although I haven’t seen any examples of it and I am MUCH older than you) but, if so, they are not the sort of people I…[Read more]

Oh Hil, I’m so sorry. You know my thoughts on this through the messages we’ve exchanged, and I just send my commiserations again xxx
