I might have a go at this, although none of the agents specifically mentions historical fiction so I guess I’d be limited to the one who says genre fiction. Does anyone know anything about the agency please?

I have had no contact with any agencies so far – am tempted to indie publish as I do for my non-fiction – but I fancy dipping my toe in the…[Read more]

@Raine they replied saying if the MS had been turned down and not re-worked, then don’t resubmit, but if it has been reworked and the writer feels it could benefit from another look, then repitch. That answers that! I’ll have to check to see what I sent.

@janette, yeah chuck one in. There’s probably a fairly small chance of actually being selected to pitch, so no harm in trying out.

Prob worth asking, @jd73. It says not eligible to anyone who’s attended previous pitching sessions, but nothing about previous subs. Maybe pitch to a different agent?

Does anyone know if an MS we have submitted to them before (unsuccessfully) is eligible for this event, if it has had a rewrite? If no-one knows, I’ll ask them.

Thank you for this, Raine, most interesting. I’m not sure if I can get mine to a pitchable standard in time, but I’m tempted to give it a go, perhaps squeezing a late submission as they only want to see the opener. Then, if lucky, I’ll have another 5 weeks to work on the rest. Or does this sound a little too frantic?

Wow, @elle – what a story. Breathtaking. And the magazine is so beautiful too. Really well done

Thank you!

Ooh! Interesting.

Congrats @elle!
