Rachel Caldecott-Thornton

Now, thanks to @AgentPete I've started dreaming about 'deep' and 'close' POV etc. Sadly, it sounds ruder than it actually is :)

Just clicked 'send' on my submission to Allen & Unwin. Now I will spend the next few weeks feeling sick.

I'm feeling chuffed. Nothing to do with writing, but with my other hat on, I've had a minor success. I was asked last night to find help for a young Syrian refugee who has ended up in Montpellier. I wrote an appeal, and this morning a British woman with a Syrian husband living in Montpellier contacted me with the view of helping this lad. Human nature at its best!

Wondering whether it is permissable to re-submit a manuscript to a pop-up session after @AgentPete 's advice has been taken into account and the opening radically changed? Or would this be considered hogging his time?

Hey Rachel, your 'fight' scene in chapter 19 is just superb! Totally superb! Really gripping.

Struggling to write a query letter and synopsis. Having the most ridiculous amount of trouble, no matter how many websites I read about how to write a good one. What I want is a hotshot marketing person to do it for me! (But, as they say, 'I wants, never gets'.)
