Yeah, the kickstarters seem to get more coverage than the submission call for this and the other one I posted about. THat’s prob deliberate – the funding being the more limiting factor. But they’ve both hit their targets so are def going ahead.

THank-you Debi! Shortstops had not come across my radar. Or it had, but my radar is on the blink. 🙂

It’s a nice little motivation/acheivement boost to send short things out, I find. Particularly in the midst of endless edits, or horrible waiting-for-responses.

Wow. I really enjoyed this Elle. And the second person worked very well for me. It didn’t feel at all self-conscious which I think it often does. It also reads as though it was written by an English native.

I’ve just checked and the same for me. This might be it 🙁

Same here. I’ve found it erratic for a couple of weeks now but today nothing at all – blank screen. I think everyone 3lse I’ve spoken to has had the same problem.

I have never known it be down as long as this.

Ooh I’m up on the podium with Daed 🙂

It feels like a long time since we wrote the book now and it’s great that it’s on it’s way for public consumption now.

And thanks, Raine. All signal boosting much appreciated.

I didn’t know that mentioning other agents by name was a no-no. How did you find out? Did they tell you?

Now signed up to ShortStops: job done 🙂
