This is basically what I write about. 🙂 Awesome.

You’re welcome! It’s a nice way for me to bridge my two “identities” (writer and psychologist) xx

Oh I love what KIt de Waal is doing – she is being so incredibly supportive and generous setting up scholarships and all that. One admirable lady. *swoons* I’d not really kept track of Kerry Hudson, but I’ll check her out.

That’s true re lots of them having MAs, I guess it hadn’t really registered. I’d never think anyone has become an agent…[Read more]

Remember “Memories” in the critique section? Now it’s “Felicity’s First” at Across The Margin: http://acrossthemargin.com/felicitys-first/

I’m like Ath – I don’t really notice…[Read more]

My experience of Twitter is that the impression one gets of its nature, for example whether there is a particular faction behaving in a particular way, is very much dependent on where you go and who you follow but also what you regard as appropriate or excessive. Personally, I have never noticed that I am not followed back; if anything I am the…[Read more]

This is a very interesting thread. Of no direct interest to me, I’m not looking for an agent, but it’s heartwarming to see Den dwellers giving their knowledge so freely. Very generous. Give yourselves a pat on the back.

I find Twitter is an invaluable resource for at least finding agents and getting some idea of what they want. Hashtags such as #MSWL (manuscript wish list, web homed at http://www.manuscriptwishlist.com) can be helpful, as can various “pitching events” such as #Pitchwars, #SFFPIT, #DVPit, #PitMad and so on. It’s not hard to figure out how to use, and you…[Read more]
