Huge congratulations to Darren Charlton, who saw his debut YA novel Wranglestone, shortlisted for the YA Book Prize! 

The winner will be announced on Thursday 6th May, and you can find out more about the Prize here. 


Three glorious books were published last week:

Magnificent Women and Their Revolutionary Machines by Henrietta Heald (paperback). ​In 1919, in the wake of the First World War, a group of extraordinary women came together to create the Women's Engineering Society. Magnificent Women and Their Revolutionary Machines brings their story back to life. Henrietta appeared on BBC Radio Bristol to talk about her book, and you can catch up here (14m 20s).

Six by G. S. Locke. The follow-up to Neon, successful criminal defence lawyer, Jon Shaw, comes face to face to with Danny Hallam, the man he tried to murder twenty-five years ago...

The Spark by Jules Wake. Jess is falling for Sam; Sam is falling for Jess. But it seems life will do whatever it takes to make them fall apart. Is love at first sight enough?

Congratulations to our authors!

Clare Boyd's brand new psychological thriller, The Pretty One reached no.1 in the Apple Books store. 

This is an absolutely gripping page-turner with a heartbreaking twist.

This week, the book also sold Czech Republic rights to Euromedia Group.

In more right sales news, Georgia Kaufmann's sweeping historical debut, The Dressmaker of Paris sold to Knigolove LLC in the Ukraine.


Ragnar Jónasson's (dubbed 'Iceland's Coolest Author' by the New York Times​ this week) forthcoming The Girl Who Died picked up a brilliant review over on Mystery & Suspense:

​"Ragnar Jonasson does an incredible job of explaining exactly what is happening, while still surprising you at the conclusion. Everything came together in the end to a point where I was surprised I hadn’t figured it out already. The finale is satisfying and there are no loose threads left, making The Girl Who Died and enjoyable read."

You can read the full review here.

In addition, Ragnar's White Death (Penguin, 2023) was nominated for Best Crime Audio Book at the Icelandic Storytel Awards, along with Eva Björg Ægisdóttir's Girls Who Lie (Orenda, 2021).

It has been announced that Godblind author Anna Stephens is to write a story for Aconyte Books, titled The Serpent and the Dead. 

Aconyte Books is the novel division of Asmodee Entertainment, creating extraordinary books from the world of Asmodee, Marvel and beyond. 

The Serpent and the Dead is set in Marvel's Legends of Asgard: Someone is building an army of immortals and stealing souls, and it is up to Asgard’s extraordinary duo Brunnhilde the Valkyrie and Lady Sif to battle across the Ten Realms and try and stop it.

The book will be released in August 2021.


We were delighted to see S. V. Leonard's forthcoming debut The Islanders (out this week) featured in Waitrose magazine this week as one of their novel picks. 

This is a fantastically gripping thriller set in a game show on an exotic island, where the game turns from finding love, to survival...

Stuart Turton's The Devil and the Dark Water was selected as Editor's Choice in last week's edition of The Bookseller. 

"A pleasingly fiendish mystery which wraps up ever so satisfyingly."

The paperback will be released on Thursday 13th May. 


Finally, we are delighted to be able to reveal that the debut novel, plus one more title, from Sarah Bonner has been snapped up in a World Rights deal, by Hodder Studio. 

​Editorial director for fiction Sara Adams pre-empted the deal from Hannah Sheppard. German rights were also pre-empted by Goldmann with the Hodder & Stoughton rights team expecting offers in multiple territories. Alex Logan at Grand Central Publishing will publish in the US.
