Small Big Celebrations: David Fennell

David Fennell signs with an agent!

In 2014 I attended the SCBWI retreat and wrote the first chapter of my YA spy adventure, Sleeper. I completed it almost one year later with six drafts under my belt.

I pitched it last month to David H Headley of the DHH Literary Agency. He was interested and asked me to meet with him and another agent colleague to discuss it further. The day after he asked to represent me. I have now signed with him as my agent. It was so unexpected, but I am delighted.

    Davy and I did our MA together and I know this will be a cracking read. It's such good news when not only a great book finds an audience but that writer and agent are well-suited.

      Thanks Suzie. I got very lucky with David. The redraft begins in September. Roll on Sleeper and roll on Book of Bera!

    Bravo! I remember the little snippet you read for us at the retreat, and it was compelling! Can't wait to read the finished book! :)

We love comments and really appreciate the time it takes to leave one.
Interesting and pithy reactions to a post are brilliant but we also LOVE it when people just say they've read and enjoyed.
We've made it easy to comment by losing the 'are you human?' test, which means we get a lot of spam. Fortunately, Blogger recognises these, so most, if not all, anonymous comments are deleted without reading.
