A P Watt have just responded to my email.
'...I make a point of letting people know about unsolicited submissions as soon as I can rather than letting them wait weeks to hear. I rejected it as it simply was not suitable for any of our agent's lists.'

I'm impressed, honestly, with the prompt reply and not wanting to keep writers waiting. That's good.
Neither 'Erosion' the contemporary novel about coastal erosion or 'Sweet Scent of Success' set in the 1920's world of perfume were suitable. Of course, there's more to it than that. I'm being simplistic.

Unsolicited. Ah, now that's a word to play with.

Maybe as some writers have found out, it's easier to secure a deal with a small publisher than with an agent. We'll see.
