Karolina Sutton at Curtis Brown says HERE that five years ago it was all BRAND, BRAND, BRAND, does this writer have a BRAND? But she says, there is a shift in the wind again...if a Manuscript is wonderful enough.
Tally ho. Make it wonderful ... and unique. What could be easier? *cough* says Boris the Sheep, drawn by my friend; artist Fiona Knox.

Interesting at least. But then I submitted to Curtis Brown five months ago, no answer. :rolleyes:

I don't like the word 'pant'. Whether it's the garment or being out of breath, it's quasi-whiffy and pants.

Pan is OK and panther, so long as it isn't roaming nearby and loose, looking for its next dinner.

I must be out of touch - I thought 'pantser' was short for 'by the seat of one's pants' meaning one who did things without planning -- in a writer's case, writing without plotting. What's the meaning you're all using?

When I first heard the term... here, btw... I thought it was Pantzers, as in "Rommel has two but very small..." Then I discovered I R one. Now I'm proud that I have absolutely no guaranteed way of explaining my own peculiar writing process.
