I couldn’t put it down.”

Finally, we’d like to extend a huge e-round of applause for client Adam Hamdy who co-hosted an event for new crime festival, Capital Crime, this week aimed at school children and their teachers about how to get into publishing. The event, on 2nd April, was part of Capital Crime’s Social Outreach Initiative, a collaboration between DHH Literary Agency MD David Headley, and Adam, to help London students enter the writing and publishing world. Capital Crime asked 10 state-funded schools to select two sixth-form students with interest and ability with creative writing. Those 20 students and their teachers were invited to attend a seminar evening at Goldsboro Books, where they heard from authors and professionals like Hodder publisher Ruth Tross, author Ali Land and DHH client Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé.
