It's now three months into your writing career and you've radically rewritten your story and purged it of all grammatical errors. Time to submit it to a literary agent.
Dig out that copy of the "Children's Writers' and Artists' Yearbook" you were given as a leaving present and pick out four agencies at random. Submit your manuscript and those glowing reviews from your friends down the pub, but never send originals; photocopy the beer mats instead. While you wait for the bidding war to start, sign up for a couple of writing courses. They might just plug the odd gap left in your technique.
