I think I read somewhere that it's been extended to the 29th but - yes, thanks for saying the thing I forgot - fast action needed!

Extended till 10 AM Monday morning. They had email issues, worried that subs had got lost. Publicised on twitter. Radio Leeds interviewed David Headley last week. He said he reads the letter, goes straight to your paragraph with your stated market positioning, eg 'this is an adult crime thriller that might appeal to readers of [INSERT TITLE.]' Then he stops and goes straight to the MS then back to the letter, and then maybe the synopsis.
