Congratulations Pinkbelt, on submitting! I am keeping everything crossed for you xx

Yep, I agree about the fine line. Especially if you’ve never met the agent and don’t know how they might take it!
If you want more examples of the efficiency and expediency with which agents deal with submissions, the #TenQueries podcasts from the Manuscript Academy show this. It’s with American agents, but much still applies, I’d imagine.

Can’t believe the cloud simply doesn’t exist any more… Calling myself a Dennie doesn’t have quite the same ring to it. So what DO we call ourselves here? Suggestions welcome…
-
Yes, it is very sad, but we can’t say we weren’t warned. How about DENizens?
-
Denizens
-
Although I also like Den-dwellers
-
Denizens 🙂
-
Denizens!
-
I like Denizens. Den Dwellers is rather good too 🙂
And yes that sudden complete failure was a bit of a shock!

-
Denofians is my suggestion, but TBH I prefer denizen.
-
Q: What do we call ourselves here?
A: Anything as long as it’s polite -
Denizens. Although, I might be more of a denlet than an izen. 😉
-
I was thinking denizens too.
-
Not ‘Dense’ then?
-
Denizens – I like. And @sandradavies – just look at the folks already here. Definitely not dense in any way, shape or form! 😉
-
Dentists? Maybe not …
-
Sorry Squidge – I’m editing :-(, but a quick look at the OED suggests ‘dendrite’ -‘crystalline growth , or ‘denatant’ – the migration of fish. I rather like denominator …

Denizens perfect 😀

I’ve just checked and the same for me. This might be it 🙁

Jules replied to the topic Hello All in the forum Coffee Shop 7 years, 9 months ago
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.

Philippa East replied to the topic Example Cover Letter in the forum Blogs 7 years, 9 months ago
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.

Jules replied to the topic Book 2 of Oath and Crown out soon in the forum Podium 7 years, 9 months ago
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.

Philippa East started the topic Example Cover Letter in the forum Blogs 7 years, 9 months ago
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]

Philippa East replied to the topic Getting an Agent. in the forum Blogs 7 years, 9 months ago
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.
