volunteers for query letter proof-reading

[julesjones]

Further to the last LJ entry about the latest submission, any volunteers for proof-reading my query letter either tonight or tomorrow morning? I'd quite like to get it in the post tomorrow afternoon if I can get it done in time, because otherwise it will probably be Monday at the earliest, and maybe longer. I wouldn't normally worry about that sort of timescale, but since I'm likely to be in the UK for pretty much another three weeks (i.e. their claimed response time), there's some point to avoiding a few days' delay.

22:10 ETA: draft finished, and sent off to those who volunteered - much thanks. I finished the draft just as my brain switched off for the night, so if I failed to correctly attach the rtf, yell...

22:20 ETA: Right, I've fixed the first problem pointed out to me, that being that it is now 2006...

If it's reasonably short, then I could do it for you. Either this evening, if you can get it to me by 9pm or so, or otherwise tomorrow morning to be sent back to you by no later than 11am.

Thanks. I'm trying to keep it under one page (it's the cover letter I'm worried about, I've already been Miss Snarked on the synopsis:-). I'm still working on it, so probably tomorrow morning.

OK. I think that you should be able to find my email address in my LJ Userinfo.

Sent, thanks.

Send away or tell me which snarkometer it was, and I'll give you my comments.

(I didn't get to read all of them. Mine was... is it *really* that bad? (61)

[julesjones]

Mine was 86, and yes, that's The Trashy Porn Novel That Grew. The one that's been providing occaisonal entertainment to rasfc for the last three years... I haven't read most of them, because I was almost zero net access over Christmas, and once I got to Ipswich and predatrix, I had net access but we've been spending a lot of time working. With any luck I'll have both net access and spare time in a week or so, and I do want to go through them then. :-)

Sent to both greenknight.org.uk addess (which bounced) and the cix addres (which hasn't yet). Thanks.

If it's not too late, and if you're still looking for readers, I'd be happy to cast my little hamstery eyes over your query letter.

[julesjones]

Sent off the draft, thanks.

My full reply has now been sent, so you should receive it very shortly if you haven't already.
