My early present.

I got a request for the full manuscript of Charlie Darling today, my medical partial. Maddie Rowe, who I would love to work with, has asked to see it. I am so excited. I met Maddie at the RNA conference in the summer and she is so lovely. She's also the editor of some of my friends and I've never heard anything but good things about her.
I'm going to be reading, re-reading and polishing yet again ready to send. I love this story so I just hope Maddie will love it too!

Coming out of lurkdom to say CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I saw your message on the PHS. It's wonderful to hear when a writer's hard work pays off.

Sending loads of good vibes that you'll start the New Year with a sale.

OMG - yay, Nell. That is seriously EXCELLENT NEWS and couldn't have happened to a nicer person. All fingers and toes are crossed - not that you'll need that. Funnily enough I was thinking of Maddie yesterday because Casablanca was on, and she'd been raving about it at conference. Weird, eh!

Thanks again. I plan to take a couple of weeks over this, I am so desperate to get it right. I've always dreamt of writing for M&B and have come so close before that I just really feel that maybe this time...
