Congratulations! (or blush, Debi, blush!)
Another day, another triumph.
Following the Festival of Writing, Roger Hardy has been taken on by Peter Buckman of the Ampersand Agency. I know Peter well, and he's a top bloke, a top agent.
Monster congrats to Roger, and I hope he snares a monster deal sometime soon.
But congrats too to Roger and Debi (his editor of a many a year) for a different reason. This isn't Roger's first book; far from it. He's used a series of books to hone his craft, and each time he's got better, and each time he's used tough advice from Debi to get himself in shape.
If I'm honest, when we first started working with Roger, I didn't think he'd make it. And now he has. And he has done because he's gone about this in absolutely the right way - and it hasn't hurt that he's been working with one of our most gifted & generous editors. So major monster aerial congrats to all. Oh, and do read Debi's post of a year back about all these things.

I can't begin to tell you how good this feels. So I won't. But it does. A lot.
Except it's more than that, much more. Go, Roger!
And, Congratulations Debi. I'm not sure if this is something you hinted about in an activity stream I was involved in a few months back (I sounded really important then), but I wondered what the outcome would be if so!
Many well done's on an excellent job to you both x
Congrats to you both.
Knowing this site provides the support they've always claimed they give, it's great to see the continued run of success of writers and inspires me to continue.
Once again, Roger and Debbie, new to the business or not, still an achievement.
well done
:o)
Congratulations Roger and Debi
It is indeed vital not to count chickens, (unless you're Whisks) and we all know it is another matter for Peter to persuade publishers of the commercial potential of this book. But it's so important to celebrate such a maassive step forwards. And it really is a Very Good Book, believe me!
I think this is key. If that satisfaction isn't there, how can you succeed?
Well done Roger, and keep enjoying the music.
