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

Long story short - In Spring 2017 my 2yr old daughter gets cancer. My partner and I enrich her imagination throughout treatment to keep her spirits up.
Much of the silliness we concocted forms the basis for a picture book that I set to work on and, after 3 years, have now completed.
The book is designed to appeal to all kids, but to have extra meaning to kids in hospital (and their parents) giving them a little bit extra courage and hope.
If I have to self publish, I will. But I first want to try and get an agent, publisher, yadda, yadda.
I am currently writing my first non-fiction book and have recently acquired a non-fiction writing qualification for the Manchester Writer's Bureau.
I am working from 30 years of journals and knowledge gained over 30 years of interest in Israel and Palestine. My book covers the period from British Mandatory rule to today.Â
After an absence of several years (due to a variety of causes, including having my e-mail account hacked - leading to TWO laptops being put out of commission; also a long trough in my bi[polarity ]cycle), I've returned to work... as a writer, an editor, a translator, and a publisher. My "publishing hut" is currently undergoing a complete make-over. It's "breaking and entering" into the digital market.
So here I am, back on W&As, as well. I'm keeping busy (there's lots of work in converting past titles into digital format), but I'll try to look in here now and then.
Hi
I have decided to self publish my children's picture book and found an illustrator, which all seems to be going well so far. It feels like such a huge project as its my first time that I'm trying not to overwhelm myself (cos I'll end up telling myself that I can't do it) so for now I'm just looking at platforms to publish with. What do people think of Blurb/ Lulu/ Bookbaby/ Createpsace - in terms of services, pricing, speed, usability, ease for first time publishers?
I've heard that Createspace is 'on its way out'??

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.
