Another rejection. Another standard letter but with a twist. This agent helpfully recommends her book (MacMillan 14.99) and adds that “if you would like to buy a copy from us for £12 please send…” This is thoughtful of her but I have the book already. I also saw her at a book reading she did in Borders once and she was a bit of a cow. She refused to answer the question I asked then got all stroppy when I asked her again. In the end the man sitting next to me whispered what I wanted to know.
So why did I bother approaching her? Because she’s known for getting mega-bucks deals for first time writers. Like the granite-balled Sharon Osbourne of literary agents.
