So Blood Lust was published for a couple of years then taken off so I'm kind of at square one. The current plan is to get a 'super' package together to send to agents but that means writing synopses for all the books completed (and completing Revelations) and that is the toughest thing I've had to do. Basically summarise the entire book onto one page. |

can you not just make the text like size 8, and write in txt speech with hardly any spaces, they might find it quirky and new wave, and go when there reading your synopses "Wow this guys so cool"
.....

Cheers for that  Seriously, though, agencies specifically look for reasons not to take manuscripts so there's all this bs about font type and size and layout that you have done right in the first place otherwise they won't even read it. |

Hope it goes well. Get your package together and show them that you have the ability to deliver the full series. It’s not just a one-off-funny-book; but a hilarious series of well-written stupidity and that will have any agent worth their salt auctioning you off to the top-bidder within days of receiving your envelope. You’re so close….
Best of luck; I’m looking forward to reading the third…..

Yeah, but really, at the end of the day, Brian, how much is salt really worth?
Trying to get my shit together but you know how it is...

Have you thought about including naked pictures of yourself, maybe concentrate on your genital area. That might spark some interest

The current project is editing all those that have come before. I tidied Revelations after completion and am now working on BL again. I've already added about 2k on but not actually changed the flow of the story at all.
However, I have put in a new epilogue and I'm thinking of dumping the aardvark.
BTW anyone who's read it ... why oh why didn't anyone ask where the HELL Nutter found a shotgun when he was at John Settle's house?

It goes to show how easily such a contrived plot device can slip under the continuity radar. But then, since the subject matter is so 'out there' I don't want everyone to start picking holes. Ha! I just remembered something else I noticed. After the shag Cameron looked at his watch to see what the time was - where'd that come from?  |
