After a very quiet time, during which "The Malice of Fairies" seemed stuck in agents' inboxes, I sent a plea to G. who edited "The Ash Grove" for me. I only wanted her to say what I was doing wrong with the submission letter, had I taken the wrong approach and so on. She went the next few miles as well, edited it, commented extensively, and best of all "adored" it. She has said that once we have finished editing it, she will "strongly recommend" it to her publisher. This is incredibly exciting, and is the beginning of a process which I hope will lead to greater things...
However, there is every chance that (a) publisher will still turn it down or (b) offer me a poor contract or (c) not market it well. So I am beginning to think about how to market it myself. I just wrote a review on Amazon ://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R2KFMJ1K4Y8MCD/ref=pe_1572281_66412651_cm_rv_eml_rv0_rv
and managed to insert a reference to The Malice of Fairies in it, I suppose that's allowed, although the book isn't out yet, I hope by the time someone reads that review it will be.
I need to do a website fairly urgently. I really ought to get help and learn useful skills like Photoshop, but the question is, when? I do need a website now though. Have to get help!
