Thank you for that. Very interesting and a lot of food for thought. It was telling that almost every agent stressed the importance of name-dropping or personal recommendation. Tim.

Yes, thank you for the interesting link. Wish I a) had a YA paranormal romance up my sleeve, and b) knew some names I could drop. Ah well ... Thanks again, Kate

Thanks again, Kate My uncle's second wife's sister is a well-known children's writer but I can't see how this would help me. She: a) Writes for very young children whereas I don't write for children of any age and ... b) Is published by Oxford University Press - who don't publish fiction. (I assume her work is classed as educational) So even having a name to drop isn't neccesarily any use. Can't win, eh ... ? Tim.

Thanks for that great link, though after reading through it I feel like giving up with agents. Perhaps I'll try to publish '1513' here, on YWO - then get out into the sunshine for a change.

I think you meant to say SHOULD HAVE BEEN DROWNED AT BIRTH. Nothing like formulaic writing to cram our art into...
