Literary Agent

by Christopher Torretto
7th March 2022

Hello everyone , firstly I hope you are all keeping well and being creative.

I am a screenwriter and have several scripts with known directors and producers with connections to Universal and Netflix etc. I sold seven scripts last month alone that are now making major offers of Hollywood stars. I am searching for an agent that can help me deal with contracts and get scripts to those that are unsolicited. I have done well getting contacts and scripts up till now but think it’s time to be represented.

thank you all

Looking for a beta reader in the medical industry - YA Fiction

by Sabreen Swan
24th January 2022

Hello! I'm not sure where the right place is to ask this - I hope it's here!

I'm looking for a couple of beta readers in the medical industry for my completed YA contemporary novel.

The novel's main theme is mental health, specifically eating disorders, depression, and self-harm, and I would really love to find a beta reader in the medical industry who can pinpoint anything that they think might be too triggering for young readers before I start working with an editor.

Submitting the first in a series.

by Tom Campbell
14th December 2021

I have completed the first short story (c6000 words) in what will be a five part series for ages 6 - 10 . The second is almost complete and I have outlines of the remaining parts.

Should I detail the entire story arc to agents when submitting Part One?

The story stands alone but would also work with illustrations, is this something an agent will suggest or should it be mentioned in the submission?

I am new to the submission process so all advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Tom.

Writing Space

by Mark J Braybrook
9th January 2021

Hi All

I was wondering what sort of writing space my fellow writers have when they are creating their masterpieces.

I spent quite a few years working at a tiny desk in a corner of a very small kitchen but since getting my own apartment a couple of years ago I've set my spare bedroom up as a study. I took a photo a few days ago of the desk area where I write and just wondered if we all have pretty much the same set-up or if there are some radical alternatives out there i.e. floating trays for use in the bath or even anything weirder and more wonderful!

No simultaneous submissions

by Biljana Malesevic
16th July 2021

This rule "No simultaneous submissions" bothers me a lot. It's present in most, if not all submission guidelines. I understand that publisher doesn't want other publishers to have the exact same novel, that is perfectly understanding and valid point. Problem is, at least in my experience, most publishers will not answer to your submission, ever. Not even a short formal letter of rejection which I would really appreciate.

Writing Programmes

Hi All

I recently watched a documentary about Dennis Wheatley and was quite surprised to hear that he wrote all of his manuscripts by hand using a pencil.

Being left-handed and finding the physical act of writing by hand quite taxing, I choose to do all my writing on my laptop using Scrivener and wondered how my fellow writers on this site create their work.

by Danica Fox
18th May 2021

Hi Community,

I have a short Children's story that I have been offered two Hybrid contracts for, by Austin & Macauley and also Olympia publishers.

The problem is I do not have an illustrator and I do not have the funds available for one either.

I'm not sure but an Agent seems the right way to go? -any advice is appreciated.

Kindest regards & thank you
