Firstly, a HUGE apology….I’m behind with blog reading (haven’t read any this week. But, at the moment I just can’t focus). Today, as you read this, I’ll be in London, doingl my pitch at Faber & Faber to a room full of agents. I’ve been a nervous wreck all week! Will catch up with what you’ve all been up to over the weekend, I promise 🙂

  10. Thank you thank you thank you yet again! I’ll gladly take up the challenge although it may take me a little while to get organised! My question for you echoes your other commenters: HOW DID YOU DO? And my second question is: WHAT DID YOU DO AFTEWARDS??? XXX Rock on, Vikki, you are officially the Award Queen!

    • You’re very welcome Nicky 🙂

      How did I do? Ok lol 😉

      What did I do afterwards? Go to the pub, then onto a bar where I bought a bottle of champers and we divided it between 8 of us and I made a speech/toast which went along the lines of….

      “I started the Faber course with a novel, and ended it without one (sniggers), but, it’s been great fun, I’ve learnt a lot, and of course, met you guys (gestured to my fellow students). I wish you all good luck for the future.” We then spent several minutes making sure everyone had clinked their glasses 🙂

  12. Congratulations on your awards and thank you, so much, for nominating me for one of them. I do hope your presentation went supremely well today and your hands weren’t shaking too much. Wow, what an opportunity to pitch your novel to that many agents at once! Am I allowed to be a teeny-weeny bit jealous? Can’t wait to hear how you got on.
