- I wrote a novel, represented by Sheil Land. One publisher thought it was "compelling, but it wouldn’t be easy to categorize – it is somewhere between ‘literary’ and ‘commercial’, and would need to be one or the other to be pitched for successfully in an acquisition meeting." Another said, 'It’s pacy and gripping, and the plot is great, but it lacks that lighter women’s fiction feeling. The writing is undeniably good but I’m not quite sure how I would position it on our list.'A third commented that it "is a warm, engaging and easy read but this ‘middle market fiction’ is a really tough area', while a fourth considered that, "It is a good story (stories) well told, but just missing the X-factor that would make me fall in love with it." I wanted to write an entertaining novel that I would like when I was in the mood for something thoughtful & amusing that I could enjoy without too much effort.

I'll plagiarise that. "Five items or less" will still remain in every chain store. Why is "more" the opposite of both "fewer" and "less"? Should we not have two different words for number and size at that end of the scale, and be fewer inconsistent?
ReplyDelete'Because' is the only sensible answer to your first question and 'no, go and make up your own language' to your second. But perhaps I'm just too hardline
