In reply to :). I love 10, but I have a special soft spot for 11 and the Ponds.

This can be a literary publicist’s wish list as well. I’d also like to add that once you get the reputation of being demanding or difficult, it flows into the very tight literary community.

Professionalism and patience is precisely the sort of things I’d expect from an agent. Often that drifts on 5 pages or less. Understandable as the slush pile with online publishing has maxed the attentions of many agents trying to find quality in quantity. As for Dr Who – did you know the original set for that was built out of a stack of cotton bobbins and two plastic boards with bits pressed out of it to create holes? It took less that 30 seconds to design the set. It just takes one person to see the bigger picture, realize its potential and risk something on it. It was launched in 1963 with the following prediction: “Cavemen and Doctors and disappearing bloody police boxes … it’ll never work,” one skeptic says in a promo for the movie. Now, was he an agent?
