In going through all UK agents' websites, there's been a couple that have said, 'please don't submit in April or October, when book festivals take place'. On asking an experienced author, she said that on top of that, January and September are bad months to submit.
So, agents, what are the actual practical logistics with this?
How does it work with you in processing submissions and working during festival season?
Can good work really get lost because of this?
I'm desperate to submit, but it's the beginning of April, so I'm holding off.
Is it wise to hold off submitting to even those who don't say don't submit in festival seasons?
What say you, agents?
Cheers.
