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’ve read and heard elsewhere (agent podcasts or something). I think it’s because they all sort of know each other and are friends, and it just makes it a bit awkward for them. They don’t want to feel they are in competition with each other.

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!

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]
