All Done!- Synopsis - yes.
- Cover letter - yes.
- Full manuscript -yes.
- Submission Chapters - yes.
- SAE -yes.
- Elbow, wrist and thumb strain - oh yes.
How strange "Yes" looks repeated like that!
For Literary Agents, the talented and generous Emerging Writer has a great post, she also has an excellent one on synopsis , she also has a poem in Poetry Ireland Review 103!
Rather than send a dozen off, for the moment I've decided on one agent. So off it goes...gently does it! Goodbye "Ghost Estate", and good luck!
I wouldn't have finished this novel without a deadline, or should I say without declaring my deadline to all and sundry (that's you blog reader!) Or the writers, Ronan, Helena and Brigid who kindly agreed to read the full manuscript. Or without Suzanne Power's encouragement way back at page one!
Thank you.
YaY! Sending you good luck. I'm so happy for you, Niamh. I wish you the best.
ReplyDeleteWell done! You have worked hard and deserve all those 'yes's'. Not quite there yet myself, but I did finish the pitch letter today and tomorrow looks promising. Kinda a little jealous, but that's just human. Applause to you!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNiamh, I am very excited for you, you are top of the class, pour yourself a glass of wine and sit down and relax.
ReplyDeleteI will send you my address via email, lots of luck to you!!

Thanks! You know yourself, everytime we think we're "done", we've only just begun! Good on your pitch letter, they're the toughest part, and the synopsis ( i hate them!), esp when you (meaning I) don't plot!
