Hello everyone

Hi all. I am a new subscriber and looking forward to getting to know as many of you as possible. I am, as yet, unpublished and working on my first project, of which I am so excited about. Can I ask is there a perfect time to approach an agent or publisher?
Also, couldn't not comment on this, does spam usually get through on this site?!

Hi MC

Hi Victoria

Unrelated to your question, but you might like to take a look at Hemmingway Editor. The entry level app is free to use, and I have found it a very useful tool when I'm checking my work for too many adverbs, passive voice, overlong sentences etc.

Thank you Victoria, I appreciate all the help and advice I can get. The business side of writing is often forgotten about; my creative juices are so addictive I often do not think about what happens next!
