Xmas story: first draft complete!
I managed to write the first draft for my Xmas picture book today and I was quite excited about it until I looked at possible agents and publishers.
Most of the smaller agencies don't take authors on anymore so I'll left with 2 options: either sending my ms to the few publishers who take unsolicited ms OR try to pitch to the BIG agents who will read my stuff... Either options are quite scary.
After that little hunt, I opened my file again to do a first revision and the only thing I could think of was 'That's crap!'
I think I need to let it rest for a bit. It's probably too much to do in one single day.
And since I'm considering sending my baby out, I have to revamp my cv. At the moment, it's very 'academically orientated' because I mostly work with academic publishers as a proofreader and a translator.
