The Literary Agent

It has been a while since I added anything to the blog. The reason being, quite simply, that there is nothing new to tell. I have since sent the first three chapters of my manuscript to a literary agent in the UK and currently await …

Begin Anew

Decided that I will look for an agent. With the Chinese New Year coming up I will have a bit of free time with which to put together a new submission. Hopefully, this ‘new’ year will prove more prosperous than the other one! Fingers crossed… …

A Blank

Happy New Year… or maybe not. No news from MacMillan and today is the last day. That means either my submission was overlooked, misplaced, or just deemed too terrible for human eyes! Ah well… never mind. I have been toying with the idea of adding …

Talisman

Well, progress on the corrections has been going better than expected. I had thought it might take longer but I have had a wave of success just recently and I am flying through the chapters in question. As expected, however, there have been a few …
