Love reading about the journey for this book, Christine. It's fantastic your agent didn't give up on finding the right home for it.

I love this behind-the-scenes look! Submitting to UK publishers ... hmmm. Didn't know US agents did that. Maybe there is hope for one of my PBs that has been on/off sub since 2016 and has 40+ rejections.

It’s probably agent/agency dependent. And it might also be because I’m British so I have a link when it comes to future publicity etc. Worth an ask to your agent though.
