  • Attracting interest??@?
    by Stuayris at 20:16 on 03 October 2011

    Hi everyone! I have just finished writing a novel called Tollesbury Time Forever. It tells the story of Simon Gregory, a Beatles obsessed alcoholic with a diagnosis of schizophrenia and a love of cricket. It relates his battle with his illness and society in his quest to be reunited with the son he abandoned twenty four years ago. I have started a blog to chronicle the ups and downs of trying to get the book published and would be grateful for any advice/comments!

    The blog is at http://tollesburytimeforever.blogspot.com/

    Cheers!

    Stu,

    After working for the past two years on my novel, I'm not too far off the beginning of the publishing quest, so I'll follow your progress with keen interest.

    PS - How much information did you sent to the agents?

    Good luck
    Michael

    Hi Michael

    Thanks so much for the reply. I have sent the novel off to six agents so far. All have wanted a synopsis, the first three chapters and a covering letter containing brief biographical details and a brief summary of the book. It' s a very weird feeling sending it out there to be judged by people you may never meet yet they seemingly hold all the cards!

    The best of luck with yours!
