Agent Hunter's site: A review

Just had a bit of a play around with the Agent Hunter site and I'd give it 4 stars out of 5.

It lost the last star because you can't search just for one genre or age of target readers like you can in the agents bit.

There are a total of 7 pages of agencies and there are more than 100 agents along with 14 pages of publishers so that's a lot to go through if you can't search for what you want!

It's obviously a new site so hopefully it'll become more user/search friendly soon.

I don't get why there is a £100 difference between the gold and platinum levels of membership though.  I know that the platinum gives you a total review of your submission package, but is it really worth £127 more from such a new site?

I know you may think you need it and it's a worthwhile opportunity, but I wouldn't pay £127 just for that... sorry! 

If the company slashed the platinum price to £50 instead of £145 then I reckon they would get more customers for that!

Also, is the professional editor willing to look over the submission package after you've taken their advice on board?  Maybe they could price the current platinum package at £50 and offer a platinum plus package where the editor will look over the edited package at £25 each time they look over it for you until you're happy with your new package and ready to send it off.

It's a great start, they just need to polish it up a bit more is all.

That's the first chapter written, so...

I'll be able to write more fluidly until the end of the MS... I'm no good at beginnings or ends of novels and never have been!

Going to use this as a reward for...

Just signed up with Agent Hunter and I'm going to use the site to update my spreadsheet as long as I write at least 2k words a day... wish me luck!

Achieved precisely no writing today, other than a PB!

I wrote and submitted for crits a PB this morning but other than that, absolutely no other writing whatsoever!  That means tomorrow will have to be a double day!  !

That's Disability Roolz sent off to...

United Agents open submission day!

Just waiting nervously to find out if anyone wants to take me on and doesn't mind holding my nervous hand!

Starting on 1 August 2016, I'm going to...

I'm going to spend August writing out my next novel in preparation for NaNo in November.

I've got it planned out and ready to be written.  It's going to be a realistic romance for young young adults because they are just starting to think outside the "friends only" box and starting to get desires to hold the hand of their first crush and stuff.

I've written a sci-fi novella but don't think I'll be writing any more sci-fi... it's just not in me to write that and thrillers and ghost stories!

Think I'll stick to fantasy and realistic fiction from now on!

Quick update on this blog

I know, I know... I haven't written anything in here since 2010, but I've left WWAUS now and wanted somewhere to associate with my writing for children site so I've decided to make use of this blog now that I've left WWAUS and I'm in the middle of my writing year!

From now on, I'll use this for reviews of websites and books and ideas for things for me to write and things like that.

I'd love to have you join me on this blog and my personal one!

I write for children from birth to young/new adult but I can't do it without you helping me.  If you have an idea for me I'd love to hear from you in the comments bit and I'll credit you for the idea by using your name as one of the characters in the book you inspire!
