Starting off this week’s news roundup with a big THANK YOU to all of the pitchers who attended our Pitch DHH: York event on Saturday 1st December (we’re a bit early with this news piece, but it was so much fun, we simply can’t wait!). The event was held at the Dean Court Hotel, overlooking the stunning York Minster and we absolutely loved meeting every single one of the writers who came to pitch their books to the DHH agents. We hope you all got as much out of the day as you could, enjoyed yourself and most importantly - found it helpful!
For anyone who missed out on the chance to attend Saturday’s pitching event, we will be holding another session next year, so do keep your eyes peeled…!

There are but 18 shopping days left until Christmas (seriously, how quickly has this one come around?) and we’ve got just the gift: The Wren by Stephen Moss, a year-in-the-life biography that reveals the hidden secrets of this fascinating, paradox of a bird that lives right on our doorstep. This beautiful bestselling edition would sit nicely alongside Stephen’s previous book, The Robin. Just saying…

And finally, congratulations to Jo Thomas, whose new book, A Winter Beneath the Stars was published last week in paperback. The perfect winter warmer, take a journey to Tellfors in Swedish Lapland and follow Halley as she attempts to save a wedding from disaster, on a journey of a lifetime. “A sparkling, heartwarming, hug of a story” (Miranda Dickinson); “Magically romantic… a book that wraps its arms around you and pulls you in” (Milly Johnson).
