Re the lack of initial research- I didn't start writing this book to get published- it was something I did for enjoyment and then decided I wanted to try and take further! And I am, of course- here I ahve done my research!- prepared for rejections. Such is life and you've gotta keep trying!
Thanks again all.

A pleasure Katnco. You'll quickly find that this is one of the most
friendly and productive newgroups there is. I've learned heaps from it
and still do.

The start of your book ('for enjoyment') is one of the best ways to
start. If you don't like the work it soon shows through. But bridging
the gap between that and a saleable product (all that the publisher is
interested in) is a big ask (and incidentally, involves the editor!).
Just remember that the publisher must have his eye on the P&L account,
and only 25 (!) hours in the day to read the shoals of stuff that lands
on his desk. (In fact he is too busy looking at the P&L to read *any* of
it - that's the professional reader's job). But best sellers do get
written every month. So don't give up but don't bet the farm on success
either.
