Literary Agent

[Unlikelyamazonian]

Any agents out there who will take a punt and give me a whopping big advance on the hugely successful book I am writing about relationships ?

As of this morning, waking up with a dead hand, and after going top Casualty and GP, I have now discovered it is called Radial Nerve Palsy which means I can't drive the car or can't clean bogs anymore.

Book in progress.

Help needed.

Are you serious?
Get the Writers' and Artists' year book look for an agent- or go to Freelancers' forum and ask there.

If your book is a self help book you have bugger all chance of finding an agent- they don't deal with non fiction as a rule.

How about a My Radial Palsy Hell article for one of the papers/mags? Can you lie write that you were so enormous that you killed your own arm while you were asleep? That's got to be a goer for Pick Me Up or one of those.

Will it have a section on how to tackle awful shit with grace and dignity?

Cos you should totally write that.

I knew that post was a bad idea.

maktai just read yr post properly. I think yr onto something here. thanx.

ps my hand doesnt work

wombfruit yes. Definitely. "Carpal hand palsy single parent no money exhusband shagging whores yet still able to perform an aria while one-handedly scrambling eggs. With Dignity'

that's my book's working title

what do you think? too short?

You Go Girl!

We will self-publish.
