I took in all that you've said and it is good to see it up here to refer to again.I found our conversation on Saturday evening to be really helpful and I'm going to put a link to your blog on my WHC blog rather than repeat it inaccurately. It was good to talk to someone who doesn't bullshit and is straight forward. Thanks Sam. Hi John,

I read yesterday, on someone's blog...actually, it was an email from BubbleCow how crucial it is for aspiring authors to show the agent / publisher they are approaching that they are in fact clued in on what's currently going on in the market, and that doesn't just mean following trends, and being able to show that they've done their research, knowing that their book has a market, instead of falling between the cracks. So, excellent and thought provoking post. Hi John
