I sent you a short story about two years ago. Back then I thougt it was absolutely perfect and couldn't get why anyone wouldn't want to publish it, but then again, I was probably not thinking. After talking to you, I considered rewriting it, and started to change it this week. By now, I've grown older, gotten into a great school and I've really improved. I think you'll like this new version of my story. The thing is that I live in Sweden, but if my work was to be published, I'd want it to be in England. Do you think you could consider working with someone that isn't from UK? Hi!

I never really understood how confusing the whole process is, i just looked out of curiousity and found my head spinning, it will be a while before I manage to finish my novel but looking on these sites gets me all pumped up to work harder! I'm only sixteen but i am quite good at writing fiction and one of my life goals is to get a book published, what i'm doing at the moment is going to be a really long project but i'm really enjoying myself. But when i'm done i know i'm going to send it your way! Hopefully my work will be salvagable, so thankyou for your site and hopefully if I get my novel finished you will get to read it. Well i want you too, i'm not really at all sure over your enthusiasm. Sorry for the lenthy note, and thanx again for the clear instuction.

A strange and moving book. Noted the author's mention of his agent in the thanks and acknowledgements and thought Simon Trew might be the agent I have been looking for to publish my novel "The Scrimshaw". The first three chapters will be winging their way to you shortly. I certainly appreciate your encouraging invitation to new writers, as opposed to the snooty multitudes who will not accept unsolicited manuscripts or approaches from unpublished novelists.

Since you wrote a complimentary rejection letter a while back, I thought you might be interested to know that my rewritten book about the cop who became a nun has been published - Pain Wears No Mask - and it has a few very favourable reviews on Amazon.co.uk. This success is also attributable to your comments - the character just wouldn't go away. A sequel (or two) is planned. Best wishes, Nik Morton Hi Simon, Congratulations on making the break!
