    That's brilliant news. Good luck. Maybe the fact that your first edit was so painstaking means your second edit won't be quite so difficult because youve already covered the hardest bits.

    To get as far as a meeting with a book agent, must mean that they are interested, well done and good luck. Let us know how you get on.

    2nd is just as painful, if not worse... but hey, good luck with the agent - that's great news...

    Hi Jim, the 'not commercial enough' tag doasn't necessarily mean 'not good enough'. For example, my novel Kendulla was published through the author assisted route. In other words, I paid for some of the publishing costs. Check out this independent review of the book.
    www.fantasybookreview.co.uk/Robert-Le-Normand/Kendulla There are others and they all say much the same. But do you think I can get a literary agent to take an interest? Keep writing and keep submitting your work mate, don't ever give up. Good luck!

    make a note of the inspired thoughts - you can get into it when you're done editing...i know, writings more fun...but without editing you have no book!
