This is what I’d really like from my slushpile:
A funny YA with a strong voice and a unique humour
An outlandish tale told so confidently it convinces from the very first page.
A love story
A fresh new take on the sort of fantastical adventures I used to read
And something unexpected.
Who knows what a colly bird looks like?
Thankyou, Claire! Bedknobs and Broomsticks was the first film I went to see at the cinema!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know which fantastical adventures you used to read?
ReplyDeleteI'm loving these Christmas treats! Thank you to the slushpile and to all the agents who've agreed to tell us what they want for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWe need more adventure stories for girls. Surely the boys will want a piece of that too.
ReplyDeleteThere are plenty of adventure stories for girls! Fiona Dunbar appears to write all of them.
DeleteAnother great and inspirational list...I am getting so many ideas. Need to sit down and write one now and stop thinking about it. Happy Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there'll be themes standing out when we get to the end and print all of the lists off? Thank you Claire.
ReplyDeleteI always liked like the unexpected :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely to come across you here, Claire! Thanks for the list.
