CK will be sending correspondance from the Frankfurt Book Fair this week:
Fiction:
“John Niven’s first novel KILL YOUR FRIENDS, set in the world of A&R in the late nineties, the story of a Machiavellian executive who will stop at nothing to pursue his ambitions and to get ahead, sold to Carrie Kania of Harper Perennial, in a nice deal, by Clare Conville of Conville & Walsh.
UK rights sold previously to Heinemann, and German rights to Heyne.”
——-
So, needless to say, the fair started well for me. I saw the delightful and beautiful Clare Conville and bought the above — immediately.
And I met with tons of publishers and agents. The fair is much like the London Book Fair — except, well, we’re in Germany (duh)
