Hello there folks,

I hope this doesn't count as spam, if so, many apologies, that isn't my intention. I'm a MA publishing student writing a dissertation that has a focus on new writers and thought it'd be really interesting to hear some direct responses from aspiring novelists. I wondered if anyone would be so kind as to fill out my short questionaire? After it's closed, I'll write a summary of the results for anyone who's interested to read, hopefully can provide some useful and insightful research for all involved! If you have any questions let me know.

Thank you,
Emma

Hey! Having had to complete my own research for various assignments and knowing how difficult it can be to get participates, thought I'd take a look.

I'd be interested in the results too ^^

It doesn't strike me as spam. If you don't ask, you don't get and as Ray says it's not easy to put together original research.

I've done it as I like questionaires; they make me feel 'portant.

Good luck with your dissertation and let us know when the results of the survey are available.

Oh, and feel free to remember my name when you land a lovely job in the commissioning editor's office!

Wow! Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has responded so far, keep them coming! I've had 10 so far, and considering it is quite a detailed questionaire rather than just ticking boxes, I'm so grateful to everyone who has taken the time to do this. I would've loved to have some kind of focus group where I could sit down and chat to you, though sadly since that's not really practical, I'm just glad I've been able to get some valuable input from you. Thanks!

PS. Oh, and if anyone who has responded already who has been published would be interested in providing their name and info about their career, books etc then feel free to email me. I'm hoping to include some case studies. However, no worries if not, and thanks again!

Those of you who've done the survey - how did you find it? I couldn't get the link to work, and when I googled it instead, I got

"Your search - http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NQN2B7T - did not match any documents."

Here it is again if you'd like to have another go.

Nope. I just get the Survey Monkey website, which invites me to create a survey but doesn't display yours, and a link back to this page.

Sounds like you need another bob to shove in the meter.
