Christmas is coming - the editor's getting desperate for a holiday
Just a wee word of warning - our offices will be closing for Christmas on December 19th and will not be reopening until January 5th. In that time we stop all mail deliveries. From about the end of November to the end of January we encourage you to hold off sending us your work as there is a higher than average chance it will not be read.
We are delighted by the response to our novel shout out - keep up the good work.
We thought you might like to see our delightful reading room so you can imagine your editor sitting gracefully at her desk, manuscript in hand, glass of wine at the ready. Yes Virginia, there really IS a Santa Claus.
Lovely reading room - and are there any more updates on the status of the Picture Books you have received?
ReplyDeletewe have finished all ms up to November so if you haven't heard then sadly you have not been successful. We have been very encouraged however by the much better than usual standard of many of the submissions and we encourage everyone to keep at their writing.
ReplyDeleteand just to be clear - that is the reading room of our dreams - hence the comment, 'Yes Virginia...'
ReplyDeleteI'll wait for the next update as I sent another MS on 31 Oct. I know Santa will come...I just know it.
