CAUTION: some self-harm
Hello again,
Second story I need help with. Same again, I need help with grammar, spelling and also for people to let me know if it all makes sense, or if anything comes across as confusing.
Thanks!

So I am kicking things of. I have a couple of stories I want to submit around but not being English native I want to make sure there are no grammar or spelling mistakes. Plus I want to know if the story works as I experimenting a bit with format and POV.
Thanks for letting me know what you think.

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?

I was already signed up to shortstops but I’m quite happy for people to post things that they see here too, even if they are duplicated elsewhere – I often miss things in the email list and it helps to have reinforcement

Thanks for this Raine. I’d seen notifications about the Kickstarter but completely missed that they were doing an open call as well

I second that, WB – I’d never heard of ShortStops.

As requested, here is a copy of the cover letter I used on submission. It wasn’t actually the version I sent my now-agent Sarah Manning back in 2016, because I didn’t even know to write a proper cover letter the first time I went to FoW, but this is the one I was using when I formally submitted to agents in 2017.
This one was for my one-to-one…[Read more]

Wow, what a climb, Raine. Did it give you courage, though, having that first agent interested? Having 50% full requests is amazing! (what is the “other stuff”?)
So is it your third book that’s out on submission at the mo?
wenbikes. Yeah. I have those.

If I was Harry, I’d be taking a good look at my direct debits and standing orders right now 🙁

What have I missed??

Nothing definite as yet, but SocialGo, the Cloud, YWP all inaccessible right now

Ah, I wondered – not been able to get onto Cloud for a couple of days, but haven’t been online much.
-
I haven’t been able to get onto the cloud since yesterday morning.

I could access it yesterday but today- nada

First of all – someone else really has to post an achievement in this section soon or I’m going to start feeling really selfconscious…
Secondly – it’s only a couple of days to go before the launch of @jillybean ‘s and my Norman Conquest novel A Black Matter for the King, and Historical Fiction Blog Tours has an exclusive excerpt to start the…[Read more]
