5 years ago today, I launched The BIA. It wasn't easy. At all. This photo is made up of books by the wonderful and talented writers of #TeamBIA and published in that time, most of whom hadn't been published before. Couldn't have done it without their support. Very proud agent!

I loved Paul Magrs Lost On Mars, so I'm excited by Mr Ripley's Enchanted Books review of The Heart Of Mars: "a science-fiction delight that everyone should read"! mrripleysenchantedbooks.com/2018/03/paul-m…

It is being reported that the firm of Jacob Rees-Mogg manages nearly £100 million invested in Russia. I can't see much about it in the old mainstream media. Somehow I don't think they'd be so reluctant to report this if it was Jeremy Corbyn, rather than Rees-Mogg.

It’s not very often that I boss an entire book in one day but knock me sideways if FISH BOY by Chloe Daykin isn’t the best book I’ve read this year. Absolutely loved loved loved this Faber Children's

Hard to pick a favourite line from a book bursting to the gills with amazing lines (see what I did there) but this paragraph is an easy second, just after “You brought balls on your first day?”
