A nice little personal email turning down Babylon. So that means there are only two out there now 1 week ago

Four new queries went out today; three by post, one by email. 4 weeks ago

not even logging properly them any more, but today I think is number fifty. 4 weeks ago

I promised myself that “after Easter” I’d get some more submissions out. Whilst I’ve got a pretty good idea about possible markets for the short pieces, I am running out of possible agencies to approach for either “Babylon” or “Saying Goodbye to Amy”

Anyone who has read either of them got any good suggestions for where I could try and send them. (I’m pretty sure I’ve tried all the obvious ones) 1 month ago

Three rejections so far – two by email, and one by post; this means there are two submissions “live” right now.

The current plan is to top up after Easter 1 month ago

I’ve given up on the last attempt at finding an agent. Given that I sent the MS in September and a follow-up letter a month ago and have heard nothing I have to assume that his slush pile is too deep and move on.

Today I sent off three submissions; two by post, and one by email.

This means as of next week I will have FIVE things out for consideration.

I got chosen to be in the World in a Day coffee table book! Its got a forward by the Dali Lamma and had thousands of entrants.
My image made it as a two page spread.
It has definately inspired me to enter more images and my most recent was entering a wedding album in the WPPI competition.
I’ll let you know if I win!

I have just submitted direct to another publisher. Again it is a twelve week window. So the ‘drop dead’ date for this one is April 23rd – Shakespear’s Birthday.

I currently have two novels and one short story out for consideration. This is more than I have ever had “in flight” at the same time.

I probably deserve a glass of wine, but I am not drinking at the moment so I shall pour some fizzy water into a champagne flute and let my imagination run riot. 3 months ago

No response, and thus another rejection.

In addition I didn’t hear back from the agent I approached in September, so I’m going to chase that one.

I now have a list of 10 possible agents to approach – I think they represent the last chance in the UK to get representation for SGTA.

Query letters to go out this week. 4 months ago
