I'm posting this here because let's face it, I am an Office Party regular and I figure OP gets more traffic than other fora.
But, if the mods deem it appropriate, feel free to move. It might be Ask the Agent or Roundtable material, so we'll see.
Anyhoo.
Edits done, synopsis too. Still struggling with my query letter but I plan to start subbing this mofo on Wednesday. So, I need help.
I'm looking for anyone within the UK who has an agent so I can pick their brains by PM or email. Preferably a writar of fiction novels (snerk), but any media would do really. Or someone from overseas who has a UK agent.
The reason I'm putting the call out is I have a million and one obsessive little questions about pages, numbering, headers, binding, font, etc, none of which deserve their own thread and may have been answered on AW before but often when such enquiries are answered it's with a view to standard American practise and I'm looking for UK-specific submission details from someone who's bagged an agent.
Yep, I've looked up agency guidelines but here's the thing: many agents just say "Send a synopsis and three chapters." Fine. I have those ready. But how long is a synopsis? One page? Two? What did you send? Did you get 'the call' or an email? How long were you waiting?
So. As I say, I have a million and one petty questions and so I don't drive people mad publicly I'd be very grateful if UK writers with agents could PM me and allow me to pick their brains. Plus, I just don't want to look stupid in front of everyone hyuh.
Thanks in advance.
