Jonathan Freedland’s fantastic new book out next month. The Escape Artist was a brilliant story of humanity’s darkest chapter and The Traitors Circle tells the story of those who dared to stand up to tyranny. Topical?

Audiobooks are booming. Why do publishers insist on holding on to low royalties for authors in a format that costs nothing to distribute, hardly anything to produce and have no returns?

Out of £120bn revenue generated in UK each year from the creative industries, film/tv accounts for over £21bn (17%) and this attack on our industry must be fought. We make the films America wants to see - from Wicked to Gladiator 2, Fantastic Four to Wuthering Heights, our Expertise is world class.

Interesting poll on which stars matter to people in terms of going to movie theatres. Skews very heavily toward older male stars and not many younger stars or women.

One of the great privileges of being a #literaryagent is you get to be the first reader of new work by great #writers. Today- William Boyd’s new novel, out later this year and follow up to Gabriel’s Moon.
