and clear copy! I also emailed <strong>the</strong>ir Kate of adm<strong>in</strong>istration<br />

about this and also asked her to quote for <strong>more</strong> critiques on<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r books.<br />

On <strong>the</strong> Saturday I woke up at about 7.30am, very early for me,<br />

<strong>with</strong> a nasty cough, that just would not stop until I retched<br />

somewhat <strong>after</strong> some m<strong>in</strong>utes. The letter I mentioned before<br />

from <strong>the</strong> DWP said my benefits had been lowered by about<br />

£15+ a week from today, and I checked on my <strong>in</strong>ternet<br />

bank<strong>in</strong>g and verified that. However, <strong>the</strong> letter failed to mention<br />

any claw<strong>in</strong>g back of any ‘overpayment of benefit’ to my<br />

enormous relief. F<strong>in</strong>ally I emailed Vicki from<br />

www.writersliterary.com to ask her to confirm (a) that my pdf<br />

file I had sent would be workable (b) to quote for critiques for<br />

up to 6 o<strong>the</strong>r manuscripts.<br />

On Sunday Kate replied briefly by email that it was a fixed $89<br />

that was already discounted fully, for each critique. I wait on<br />

Monday to see <strong>the</strong> reply from Vicki – I am anxious not to carve<br />

out especially for this firm, <strong>with</strong> a lot of hard work, an ‘editor<br />

only’ version of what I have sent <strong>the</strong>m. From Saturday night to<br />

Sunday I typed up <strong>the</strong> last three weeks of this diary, start<strong>in</strong>g<br />

on Tuesday 23 rd June.<br />

So, <strong>after</strong> approach<strong>in</strong>g Writers Literary Agency <strong>after</strong> f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

advert for new authors by chance on Tuesday night 23 rd June,<br />

<strong>the</strong>y had signed me up <strong>the</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g Friday 3 rd July; and I had a<br />

critique on <strong>the</strong> way barr<strong>in</strong>g problems <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> manuscript<br />

format, just a week later. All go<strong>in</strong>g well, <strong>the</strong> critique should be<br />

ready by about Friday 24 th July, be sent to me and <strong>the</strong> Agent<br />

for my book at Writer Literary Agency, who should <strong>the</strong>n start<br />

talk<strong>in</strong>g to me. How as <strong>the</strong>y claim I am to meet this Agent,<br />

when I live 5,000 miles away from <strong>the</strong> USA across <strong>the</strong> Atlantic,<br />

at this stage rema<strong>in</strong>s unclear!<br />

Ever s<strong>in</strong>ce sign<strong>in</strong>g up last week, I have been ponder<strong>in</strong>g my<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r books. I am told by <strong>the</strong> Agency that I can only discuss<br />

<strong>the</strong>se <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong>m once <strong>the</strong> Agent for <strong>the</strong> first book ‘Scientific<br />

Proof’ has got <strong>in</strong> touch. Firstly, do I want to keep <strong>the</strong> present<br />

texts? Some people <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> psyche trade have told me <strong>the</strong>y are<br />

probably libellous! A review by <strong>the</strong> Agency as to whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>y<br />
