I keep having reasons to raise a glass to clients in the evening at the moment. Obviously, that is the ONLY reason I'm having a drink...
It's always cheering when you post about a new agency client and their upcoming novel, and receive a show of interest from a publisher the same morning...
I'm very happy to welcome @helengrantsays.bsky.social to the literary agency! www.johnjarrold.co.uk/news/1891/no...

At the desk editing on screen since 7am. Now resting my eyes for a while and taking a walk!
A full-on day, one way and another. A chilled drink awaits later...
I started working in public libraries in September 1972. So in two months I've worked with books for 54 years. Which is a while...may raise a glass.
When you know the week will start with an upbeat conversation with a publisher about an agency client, it really makes Sunday afternoon more positive...
