Spent the day phoning agents to check their addresses and asking exactly what they want submitted to them and I noticed two things:
1. A lot of agents (about 30% so far) aren’t accepting ANY submissions at all. Either they’re snowed under with unsolicited stuff or they need to “devote time to existing clients”. Which means I have considerably less potential agencies to approach. On the bright side I will save money on stamps.
2. A lot of agents seem to be one-woman outfits and when I call up I get a terribly well-spoken lady talking very softly, like she’s just come out of hospital. These tend to be in the north and the west of London and invariably they don’t want to read my page-turning serial killer thriller.
