Excellent stuff.

Magnificent. Nice to know you’re getting it right second time around. Must take the pressure off.

Well done!

Well I’ve only gone and done it haven’t I – officially submitted. Now comes the waiting, well actually I have to send another two out.

My idea is to keep six on the go and replenish after each crayoned note with the words – No Way, written in reply.

I’m genuinely amazed at the level of interest and input in the thread. Thanks guys. I was expecting a few woo hoos! And the occasional go for its. There’s some genuinely good stuff and it makes me feel:

1) Like I’m not alone
2) More prepared
3) Excited to get started

So thanks again everybody.

My biggest fear is always the same – is it ready. Just when you think it’s good to go somebody makes a suggestion that could improve it further. I was gearing up for submission and the wonderful philippa said why did you do that, why not do this. Which has led to a slight re-write and massive improvement. But I’m definitely almost ready. Maybe.

Daeds issues with trying to regain the rights to his book after leaving his publisher was the one that’s closest to home. He said he might post an article on it on here as it has some useful advice in it.

Tried to insert an image but can’t do it properly. I see the three sticky topics, followed by your Test topic.

Ooh Squidge, I’m not sure I’m brave enough for that. After hearing horror stories i’m a little gun-shy. But now i’ll have more time to research them, I know i’ll stumble upon some darlings.

Thanks to all for your comments thus far. Very helpful stuff.

Thanks Phillipa,

Ooh, I’ve also done the same faux pas but only for a competition.

I have already seen Hannah’s video. It was very good.

Seeing as you’ve snagged an agent already, If I have some questions am I ok to message you?
