amberdreamsHad an interesting morning at a seminar by a publishing agent giving tips on how to get published; followed by a brief one to one with her in the afternoon to talk about my draft book. We had to provide a summary and synopsis, plus 5 pages of the draft in advance and then she could comment on our submissions. I was fairly apprehensive, particularly as she said in the morning session that her speciality was literary novels (soooooo far removed from my fantasy/sci-fi effort!) BUT
she said
Eeek!
she said
- there was nothing wrong with my writing style or language used (which was a relief as I think her standards are quite high!)
- it was fast paced and a good start for a book (in terms of gripping the reader etc)
- the prologue was the right length and had enough in it to whet the appetite
- she thought it was a young adult audience (which was kind of surprising but very useful)
Eeek!
