Prior to publication, we sat down to chat about his writing journey, and the practical ways you can narrow down your shortlist and find your perfect agent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>JW: Could you tell us a little bit about your journey as a writer? When did you start writing, and where are you with publication now?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JL: I was rummaging around in some old boxes recently and unearthed a short story I wrote when I was eight &#8211; a murder mystery set in London. So I suppose writing\u2019s something I\u2019ve always done, or at least always wanted to do&#8230;but it was mostly just bits of novels I\u2019d start then immediately scrap. Never enough time, or I\u2019d second-guess the idea and stop. And then in 2019, I buckled down and actually finished a novel for the first time (with <a href=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/our-services\/121-support\/mentoring-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mentoring<\/a> help from Jericho Writers&#8217; Daren King). But I worried it wasn\u2019t strong enough so rather than submitting it to agents, I set it aside and signed up for the <a href=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/ultimate-novel-writing-course-uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ultimate Novel Writing Course<\/a>, in order to write another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That second novel, &#8216;London in Black&#8217;, will be published next June by Pushkin Vertigo. It\u2019s a near-future police procedural set in 2029, two years after terrorists release a novel nerve agent at Waterloo Station with catastrophic consequences. Our hero is DI Lucy Stone, a cop with crippling survivor guilt who must hunt a killer and recover a stolen nerve agent antidote (that may or may not be a figment of her imagination). So &#8211; a murder mystery set in London, just like when I was eight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve just finished&nbsp;copyediting, and at the moment I\u2019m waiting to see first&nbsp;pass page&nbsp;proofs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>JW: In what ways did being a student on the UNWC help to shape your writing?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JL: Lots of different ways &#8211; the course material was instructive, the Q&amp;As useful &#8211;&nbsp;but the thing that I\u2019m most&nbsp;grateful for is the mentoring. I was assigned a brilliant writer named Craig Taylor as my mentor, and&nbsp;we had periodic phone calls throughout the course. The mix of tailored feedback plus support and encouragement was unbeatable.

Shortly after&nbsp;that,&nbsp;I received an email&nbsp;from Jericho\u2019s&nbsp;wonderful Rachael&nbsp;Cooper, telling me that she was willing to send a manuscript recommendation out to an agent on my behalf&nbsp;&#8211; and did I have any thoughts on who?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Determined not to waste the opportunity,&nbsp;I turned to&nbsp;Jericho Writers&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/our-services\/agentmatch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AgentMatch<\/a>.&nbsp;First, I ran a search for agents&nbsp;actively&nbsp;looking for crime\/thrillers, which spat out about ninety names.&nbsp;I looked them&nbsp;all&nbsp;up&nbsp;and&nbsp;narrowed&nbsp;the list&nbsp;down to about twenty who seemed really focussed on the genre.

Not only was this the first recommendation to come from the Ultimate Novel Writing Course but it came with a glowing recommendation from John\u2019s mentor. So naturally, I made myself a tea and started reading. To say I was blown away by the opening chapters would be an understatement. I immediately sent John a very frantic\/excited email saying that 1) I\u2019d love to work with him to find an agent, and 2) very cheekily asking him to send me the full manuscript so I could read on!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>John and I spent a couple of weeks fine-tuning his submission pack. We even had a transatlantic call mid-pandemic to perfect his elevator pitch for the query letter. When that was ready and John had been able to explore AgentMatch and research his agent shortlist, we decided&nbsp;Jordan Lees could be the perfect match. Before I even had time to cross my fingers, we got a reply from Jordan requesting the full manuscript.
