Interesting letter in Private Eye today which I couldn't resist scanning. Buy the new issue out today for some great publishing gossip about Philip 'Tis Pity He's A' Hoare.....
Hello! My name is Daisy and I am Junior Literary Agent at the very sleepy Edward Cecil Agency in London's Piccadilly (yawn yawn yawn) which is very conveniently placed for the delights of The Wolseley and for Hatchards – although obviously I am so badly paid that my lunchtimes are Pret A Manger and my bookseller of choice is Asda. I am delighted to have landed a column about the REAL world of London publishing in The Bookseller - frankly, what took them so long - but for some reason 'Snake Hips' Joel will only allow me to grace their hallowed pages once a month so I have had to resort to something I tell all my clients to avoid like the bloody plague - SELF PUBLISHING. I don’t know what ‘blog’ means but apparently this is one. Anyway - hope you enjoy all of this and I look forward to all your lovely messages of support. One at a time, please, form an orderly queue, let’s keep this civilized. My brother Olly who is a Junior lawyer (well trainee actually...ish) said I must point out that this is all a bit of fun and not really very truthful....
