Allen and Unwin was looking at unsolicited YA fiction - which your novel is - last time I looked. Ford Street? That's a small press specialising in YA. Paul Collins, the publisher, is very experienced - he was the first to publish SF/F in Australia, and came back after many years as a writer and editor. He will look after you if he says yes and probably at least give you a personal comment if he says no. There are a lot of SF/F small presses in Australia - check them out. I'll think of some more and get back to you by email. It's good to have an agent if you can get one, but it's not the be-all and end-all.Sue Bursztynskihttp://suebursztynski.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249141384507760517.post-40400593026378332892011-09-27T08:57:46.574+10:002011-09-27T08:57:46.574+10:00Peggy: I know right?
