Hi all, My name is Paul and I live in a small village close to Dorchester in the County of Dorset in England. The location is well known as the birthplace of Thomas Hardye, and living writers Lord Fellows, Minette Walters, and Damien Lewis live in the area, so there are some excellent literary role models for me to follow. I have just found Litopia and have watched with much interest two pop up submission podcasts. It was both entertaining and informative to hear the writers work read out and the comments given. I will continue to watch the pop up submissions.
I wrote a draft of a science fiction book and got several friends and family members to read the first few chapters. I got some useful feedback. I made changes and sent the first three chapters off to 15 literary agents. I got the standard polite 'you write well but not for us' replies or no reply at all. I realized the script was not good enough and I had to put more work in. I am in the process of this revision. I look forward to taking part in the Litopia group.
