Re: Chicken House

LOL, for a moment I thought that John had come back but then I look at the dates and realised what a fool I've been.

Edward, anything personal that editors are saying you should be taken as an encouragement. You stand out from the grey mass that dwells around us.

Re: Chicken House

Thank you, both of you. That's a bit encouraging. I'll resubmit it at some point and it's pretty different to what it was. As I mentioned earlier, it's become more sleeker and some of the excesses cut out. I'm not too convinced that I'm that good. But I swotted up on all the Young Adult fiction I could and took notes so with luck I can sell it somewhere if Chicken House reject it a second time!


I didn't realise personalised rejections weren't the norm. 'Great ideas' isn't something to be sniffed at on my first try I suppose.
