The editorial report came through yesterday. It contained some encouraging notes, but it also said that the book wasn’t ready for submission. I’m going to mull on the comments this week and brainstorm a redraft. In the meantime, two agents still have the full manuscript. My chances of rep aren’t high so my main hope is that they offer a couple of comments to improve the novel.

I spent half of the holidays revising my book – nothing major, just tweaks. Hopefully these edits will make the novel cooler and smarter, although I’m way too close to tell. To remedy this, I’ve paid for a report and expect to receive feedback in a month’s time. It’ll be interesting to find out what they think.
There’s no avoiding it – my novel will need a significant rewrite before it hits the 0.01% band of excellence.
I’m planning to make several smaller changes over Xmas and will then be sending the manuscript off for professional critique. Going to keep on working hard.
