I’m working on my first novel and am going to chart my progress here. Keep myself accountable.

Very (very, very) excited to have found out this morning that my manuscript will be presented at an acquisitions meeting at one of the big 5 publishing houses next month. I may have no fingernails left by mid-April!

Is there anything as agonising as waiting to hear back from publishers who have requested the whole manuscript?

[Adam Evitts @adam_evitts]

Feeling very happy. Pitched to three publishers via virtual literary speed dating last week and all three asked to see the manuscript.

Well ... the submission to my agent didn’t go so well. #notdone

Some great advice here. I, too, think it's really beneficial to write the opening with the ending in mind. https://t.co/Ap2VU8SJhL

I was so gutted to hear the news of Benjamin Keough's passing. Please, if you need support, contact @LifelineAust or a similar service in your area. Or just reach out to a trusted friend or family member. Rest in peace, Ben.

Finished draft 3 of my manuscript. A proofread over the weekend and then it's off to my agent on Monday. #done
