My favourite response yet. The letter says:
‘Thanks for your info however I do not handle screenplays.’
I don’t know what she thought she was looking at.
All I can imagine is that she read the first line of my letter, which says ‘I am a young writer looking for representation. I have had three feature-length screenplays optioned…’ and then didn’t bother to finish the sentence which says ‘and am now hoping to secure a deal for my first novel Clipped.’ I imagine she also didn’t bother looking at the synopsis or the 42 pages of book I sent.
I e-mail back saying ‘Thank you for your prompt response. I understand you do not deal with screenplays but ‘Clipped’ is an 80,000 word novel.’
See what she says. It’s not like I’ve got anything to lose.
Saw Russell Crowe in Soho and he looked very happy. Big beardy smile on his face opposite Wagamama. I was with my mum but she wasn't interested because she doesn't know who he is.
