Sophie Beal came to the <\/strong>Festival<\/strong> of Writing<\/strong><\/a> 2018. She did not get an agent, but did get inspired.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Myself-of-the-Weeks-Before-the-Festival,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This letter is for you, poring over the Jericho resources<\/a>, searching for wisdom on those ultimate questions: how can I know the Festival won\u2019t be a waste of time and money? And what if, instead of an agent, I get conclusive proof I\u2019m delusional?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the things you\u2019ll want to know up front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. You don\u2019t make any of the competition shortlists.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. You have a very depressing 1-2-1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. That dream, where agents and publishers stalk you? It doesn\u2019t happen.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    You\u2019re now wondering if you should cut your losses, stay in Bournemouth and save the petrol. Keep reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sometimes, people meet their agent in the coffee queue.<\/a> This is unlikely in your case. Either, you\u2019ll be too scared to strike up conversation, or not be scared enough and say something really stupid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So there you are. Four hundred and sixty pounds down, no chance of representation and surrounded by three hundred odd people all after roughly the same thing. It\u2019s going to be murder, right? That\u2019s what you\u2019re thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That first 1-2-1 is not the agent\u2019s fault. She\u2019s lovely, but doesn\u2019t think you\u2019re the next Tolstoy. \u201cI\u2019m getting caught up in the medical red tape,\u201d she says. She has no idea of the time you\u2019ve spent trying to make sure that didn\u2019t happen. You sit there and listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You write notes. You return to your session. Then you go back to your room and grieve. After all, unless something magic happens, this is probably the end of the line for your novel. After eleven years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you could fit this into the hour and a half before dinner, it would be an ideal time and place. It\u2019s quiet. There are no children asking you for snacks or arbitration. But you\u2019ve a soul to vomit and mealtime comes all too soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You\u2019re not pretty when you cry<\/a>. People will assume you\u2019re dying of something they don\u2019t want to catch. Or they\u2019ll know the truth \u2013 that you\u2019re not as good as you hoped. You drag Rachel, your trusty writing partner, to your room. She gives you a good hug, and supervises you while you rinse your eyes in warm water and make your way towards food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    And there you meet someone else who hasn\u2019t yet had either of their 1-2-1s, but is thoroughly fed up with the submission process. You share your own tale of woe. And the lady on the other side shares hers. And you say things to each other you would usually reserve for the mirror (or Rachel). Like, \u201cI<\/em> think I\u2019m good.\u201d Someone buys three gins and tonic and instead of slipping out before Friday Night Live, you surprise yourself by staying up to whinge until eleven thirty (that\u2019s three am in young person time).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You\u2019re still feeling a little fragile the next morning, but all that panic-surfing has paid off. You remember Emma Darwin\u2019s blog<\/a>. You have your first coherent thoughts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. You really didn\u2019t think your world through before you wrote your novel. Your main characters are academic anaesthetists. How many non-medics know those exist? And there\u2019s so much more you need to set up alongside the love story, including the ambition and rivalry. World-building in these circumstances is difficult, but it doesn\u2019t necessarily mean the novel is doomed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. The agent didn\u2019t criticise your prose, your first page, or your characterisation. A lot of your work has paid off.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Mandy Berriman had a difficult journey to publication. People have told you she\u2019s lovely. You will try to speak to her.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"the<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Together with a cooked breakfast, you\u2019ve reason enough to get out of bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Penny Holroyde and Allie Spencer<\/a> sit at your table in the canteen. This is the moment you should try and impress Penny who is after all an agent. But when they ask you about your festival, you end up telling them the truth. It\u2019s the best thing you can do. They are both lovely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cSo many published authors I know, have a novel they love but can\u2019t sell,\u201d says Allie. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not any good.\u201d You talk about easy reading for thinkers.  She wrote her first romantic comedy about a young barrister, so understands your world-building issues and gives you some pointers. You come away thoroughly inspired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      That is your \u201call is lost moment\u201d done and dusted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Having planned plenty of alone time, you don\u2019t miss a thing after that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Sarah Pinborough may apologise for waffling in her keynote lecture, but has everyone in stitches as she describes life as a published author. And everyone\u2019s crying by the end of Julie Cohen\u2019s session about Pixar story-telling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      At the book club and literary industry panel you\u2019re told genre boundaries are blurring. Pinning your book down as literary or commercial doesn\u2019t matter as much as it did. Finally, someone produces a useful definition of book club fiction. It\u2019s obvious really: \u201csomething people want to talk about with their friends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You contemplate skiving the Futurecast session. It\u2019s on Sunday morning; you\u2019re tired and already know vampires are out, uplit and psychological thrillers in. But there\u2019s loads more to learn. Afterwards, everyone you speak to is considering self-publishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      And somewhere in the middle of all that, you have a second 1-2-1. It\u2019s far more relaxed than your first, possibly because you now know the problem. You bring up the world-building issue yourself. She suggests emphasising the love story over the setting from the start. But she says, \u201cYou\u2019re clearly a very good writer.\u201d You have time left. You could show her your elevator pitch for novel number two, but you forget and use the minutes up blithering about how much her opinion means to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      There you are: three competitions, two 1-2-1s and no agent. But you now understand more about how you could fit into the industry. And you\u2019ve found the rest of the people like you in the world. The money isn\u2019t wasted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      On Sunday morning, you listen to Mandy Berriman\u2019s keynote session and her full story of knockbacks, perseverance and eventual success with her second novel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Over lunch, you tell your fellow writers<\/a> about your novel number two.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cThat one will be so much easier to sell. I can condense the idea down into a few sentences.\u201d You tell them it\u2019s about a couple about to abandon fertility treatment when the woman is raped. She then discovers she is pregnant. She thinks the baby is her husband\u2019s. He thinks she\u2019s delusional and wants an abortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Someone says, \u201cI\u2019m wondering what I\u2019d do.\u201d And someone else, \u201cYou need to write that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Then you remember you\u2019re actually on your second draft. This sets off those pesky dreams again. You see yourself up on the main stage, about to publish your first novel as your second. The editor next to you is saying, \u201cI couldn\u2019t believe she had something so marvellous in her bottom drawer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      With very best wishes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Sophie Beal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
