Writing's all I've ever wanted to do and I've been selling short stories to magazines and e-zines for a while now. My main ambition was to have a novel published before I'm 30, and I turn 28 in December so I've done it! when I sent the manuscript off I wasn't very hopeful because I'm unagented and I'd heard that publishers are unlikely to look at your work if you're not represented, but a week later I got an email saying they loved it and wanted to meet with me. I've since signed a three-book deal with them

I can't believe it!!! Now all my friends and family will have to eat their words - they thought I was wasting my time! Thanks for letting me share!
