  • Which agents are receptive?
    by mothball at 12:03 on 25 March 2004
    Hi,

    I've just finished a black comedy set in London and was wondering whether there were any agents who would be interested. I've received four rejections so far and intend to keep on submitting.
    Are there any writers here who have written dark but funny fiction? What have their experiences been? Does anyone know what the market is like for books like this?

    Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

    Hi Mothball. If you haven't seen my thread about April Submissions, then take a look and if you're interested, feel free to send a sample in for me to read.

    Hi Katie,

    Thanks a lot.
    I posted the first 10,000 words of 'Acting Human' to you on Friday the 26th. In my haste and anxiety I'm afraid I forgot the cover sheet which contained the word count (approx. 113,000 words - still intend to do yet another edit though - mad about editing - so word count could go down).
    Hope you like it.
