Relief arrives by e-mail
Jan. 21st, 2010 07:08 pmSo, apparently I have not entirely wasted the last year after all. My US agent has responded enfin to the new novel, and she kinda likes it. The word "brilliant" might have occurred. Also, possibly, "beautifully written".
She does of course have notes for revisions. This is apparently why we keep 'em, these agents, these days: for the editorial function. Used to be that editors edited, but they mostly don't have time any more.
Is okay. I trust my agents, or at least I mostly do what they tell me. I think that's the same thing?
She did also murmur about a change of title, though. I knew she'd do that (it was the least of my worries, but a worry none the less). Nobody understands me. It is the perfect title. *kicks wall sullenly*
