Hi All

I have a Chick Lit novel that I finished a couple of years ago; I sent it to a four agents when I finished it and received two standard rejections and two 'this is quite good but not for us at this time' rejections.

I then went back to work FT and have not done anything with it since, however since discovering this thread I've decided I should dust it off and see if anything can happen with it rather than it sitting on my computer doing nowt...

Does anyone want to read it? Either first few chapters or the whole thing? I would love some proper feedback, I mean from strangers (rather than my mum telling me it's amazing and the best thing anyone has ever written!) so I can decide whether to send it out to more agents or shove it up on kindle and see what happens...

I work in telly and we always describe things as 'that meets that with a bit of that thrown in' so

If it was a film you’d describe it as P.S. I Love You meets Notting Hill meets High Fidelity - any takers?

What format would it be in? Would I be able to read it on my iPhone?

I have a novel sitting there that's needs some revision but full time motherhood has got in the way!

I'm still quite a prolific reader of your genre though so I could have a look.

Hi All

Sorry been crazy today and just popped on. Thank you all very much.

Please PM me your emails and I will send it over...

Onsera3 - It is in word so I think you can download it as a PDF on to your iphone - or send it to pages maybe?

If anyone has a kindle I can send it directly to that if you give me your kindle email address which you can find in settings and it comes up like a proper book (was very excited when I discovered this!)

For fear of sounding desperate - is no news good news?

I read pretty fast so tell me to shove off if I'm nagging too soon Confused
