2. My publishers are taking submissions at the moment. If you want to try for a bigger publishing house, it seems to be generally accepted that you need an agent before they'll even look at you, but actually I found it harder to get an agent than a publisher (I have an agent now, but I had to get published first). Of course, if you've had a bit of success in publishing before (I seem to remember you've published some poetry?) you may do better than me on finding an agent! Otherwise, exploit any contacts that you might have in the publishing industry. Be shameless.
3. Yes! I still have all of mine. I like to look at them and laugh, sometimes.
I would definitely be up for reading, but it depends what kind of novel it is. I mean, if it's speculative fiction, or scifi or fantasy or something, I'm not really yer woman, because I wouldn't know an dwarf from a dilithium crystal. In principle, though, I'd love to, because I really like your writing.
1. Thank you very much. :) I am fine with honest comments, I genuinely am (well unless they are of the 'Yes, your ass is too big' variety). I quite appreciate them actually, since without them I cannot improve.
2. I had an inkling of what your job was, but I didn't want to impose. :)
2) I can email you with advice but can you let me know if yndigo....@ aol etc is still the right email address, or is there something more current I should use?
I'd appreciate advice, but it's better to email me at nina.san@gmail.com - the aol address still works but it gets so much spam that I lose track of valid emails.
Thankfully my Virgo Ascendant is fine with critical. ;)
I really appreciate the offer considering how much you've got on your plate (and how busy you are likely to stay in the upcoming months) but if you're still willing by the time I'm done then I'll happily send it your way. (It doesn't have any pirates in it though).

I hope your publishers will still be open to submissions by the time I'm finished with this baby. :)

It's fiction with some magical realism thrown in.

2. Not sure if you know what my job is, I tend to keep it a bit quiet, but let's talk about this on the phone or by email.
