My First Novel

First novel 'Improvisations on the Theme of unLove, or as he says "The Autobiography of a Bastard"' seeks would be friend, lover, and publisher. Must be dark, well connected with current literature, post coital modernism and willing to take a risk with daring, slim hardback volume, ambitious in scope, stylish and full of adventurous language, with hidden depths only to be revealed to the right eyes.

Name:
Location: London, United Kingdom

Cultural gypsy currently anchored in London while completing a Masters in English. Abandoned at birth by German Missionaries in a remote Indian jungle I was found and adopted by a wandering group of jay monkeys. They'd studied Shakespeare from a book abandoned by Hamlet's father, and they taught me the use of the comma, and the mis'placed apostrophe. I wait impatient for the call of the publisher, but all I hear is the noise of the traffic and the howl of the tourists at the window.

The search for an agent begins!

The moment of truth: synopsis undergone its umpteenth revision; letter amended until I can hear the bloody thing moaning everytime I come near the pc; list of agents prepared and ready. What more do I need? Luck? Contacts? Every site I go to says the same thing: you need to be prepared to wait. Ten years in the writing and I'm getting a little impatient to see this baby delivered. The pain won't go away until the hardback emerges from the publisher's.
If there's anyone out there who can give any advice on getting agents, that would be most welcome. And any donations to keep me going wouldn't be turned away!
Look out world the best book since Ulysses is about to hit the road.
