James Woolf has had many short stories published that ride a coach and horses through traditional storytelling methods. If you’ve ever thought about breaking free from conventional ways of telling stories, this is the workshop for you.

You heard it here, folks. You won't find higher praise.
If you are an agent or want to be an agent or an editor who deals with agents or an author who has an agent or is trying to get one, you need to read this book.
Excited to reveal the cover of my book, MIDDLEMEN: LITERARY AGENTS AND THE MAKING OF AMERICAN FICTION, which is available for pre-order now!

I've been consulting @gbpoliceadvisor.bsky.social
for my latest novel (a political/legal thriller 1980s). I first talked though my outline with Graham a while back and he just critiqued the full manuscript.
Unparalleled knowledge on anything featuring police/Government!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! 🌟🌟

Oh, this is a great endorsement of my little debut. Nicolas is preparing a BFI Classics volume on Billy Wilder’s masterpiece The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, the film behind the book. A new edition of The Continuity Girl will be available in 2025. Meanwhile, I’m working on a sorta prequel.
