What’s on your wishlist?
Serial killer thriller, non-Western fantasy, contemporary YA. I like books with twins, haunted houses, pirates, family secrets, psychiatric institutes. Big stories with high concept hooks. But don't get too hung up on that - the last three books I signed covered none of those things!
What is your working style with clients (eg how editorial are you)?
I am extremely editorial. We normally do at least two drafts together, sometimes more. I'm very communicative, and extremely straightforward.
Do you choose books with head or heart?
Heart first, then head. I have never taken something on that I don't love, but I also have to be confident that I'll know how to sell it.
Which book or character has stayed with you since childhood?
Cassandra Mortmain
Which house would the sorting hat put you in?
Gryffindor

No comments:
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.
