Just a note to say Yahoo, Hooray and Yippee-de-do for Ian Critchley whose Art of Standing Still was taken on by agent Sarah Such some time back. (I've only just learned about it; and take a bow, Ed Fenton, for helping out on this one).
SS hasn't yet sold the book, but then again today's market is so awful, so absolutely dire, that failing to sell something means hardly anything about quality. The fact that Ian C secured the services of a really capable agent means that his work passed muster. He's at work on another novel now and - fingers crossed - by the time he's finished it, publishers may have woken up to the fact that if they don't buy books they won't have any to sell.
Not counting on it, though. These things have only ratcheted downwards for years now. There are abrupt downturns (as now), but then where's the bleeding upturn?
