Finally! Evidence that someone actually reads slush. JK Rowling’s agency said No but they sent back comments and an individual letter. They are the first agency to do this and I am extremely grateful.
BUT
I don’t want to sound churlish or anything but in my letter I made it clear that my book was a page-turning commercial thriller. So how did they assess it? They took 3 pages at random (1, 5, 7) and them commented on the writing style. Yes, writing style is important but shouldn’t you judge a page-turning thriller by whether you want to keep turning pages?? At least read them in the right order. Grrr.
