Agents - <strong>the</strong>re, you should be able to f<strong>in</strong>d someone who's a<br />

better fit for your work.<br />

Best of luck <strong>with</strong> this and future projects.<br />

I sent several emails <strong>in</strong> reply, but when I telephoned on <strong>the</strong><br />

Wednesday, <strong>the</strong> <strong>next</strong> day, <strong>in</strong>ternational call of course, she had<br />

not read <strong>the</strong>m, and said my ‘spiritual book’ was not <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

normal sort of ‘spiritual’ – which was Californian!<br />

Meanwhile I went to <strong>the</strong> M<strong>in</strong>d Club on <strong>the</strong> Tuesday night, full of<br />

anticipation as well as tension about <strong>the</strong> above. When I got<br />

home aga<strong>in</strong>, I proceeded to look up email addresses for all<br />

relevant BRITISH agents I could f<strong>in</strong>d on <strong>the</strong> web site of <strong>the</strong><br />

Writers’ and Artists’ Yearbook – and emailed <strong>the</strong> ones I knew<br />

were relevant. Aga<strong>in</strong> I <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> email <strong>the</strong> press release,<br />

synopsis and <strong>the</strong> same Article Seven. I got emails through to<br />

all of 47 UK agents – on top of 60+ USA agents previously.<br />

Now I was really trawl<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> deep seas! All it would take was<br />

one of <strong>the</strong>se 107 to like my book!<br />

Tuesday I was up till late at night very anxious about all this,<br />

and woke up so late on <strong>the</strong> Wednesday that I missed <strong>the</strong> M<strong>in</strong>d<br />

Club. There were all of eleven email ‘<strong>NO</strong>’s’ from UK agents that<br />

<strong>after</strong>noon on my PC! I also phoned <strong>the</strong> US and Jessica <strong>in</strong> New<br />

York as above, but got nowhere. I paid £2.65 for a month’s<br />

subscription to <strong>the</strong> UK agent and publisher database at<br />

www.firstwriter.com which resulted <strong>in</strong> send<strong>in</strong>g copies of earlier<br />

emails to agents to seven agents and 15 publishers (all mostly<br />

<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> USA – but some UK). However of <strong>the</strong>se only two<br />

publishers replied to say <strong>the</strong>y were not appropriate by <strong>the</strong><br />

Friday – so I cancelled my subscription to this particular web<br />

site www.firstwriter.com.<br />

On Thursday at last, Jeni got her A Level Results, of BBB, which<br />

she was told by <strong>the</strong> Exam<strong>in</strong>ers could easily have been AAA if<br />

she had done better <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> previous year, her first year <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Sixth Form. Still – her results were enough to get her <strong>in</strong>to Uni<br />

– Queen Mary’s College, London, no less to take zoology,<br />
