Headline to publish 'The King of Shaves Story', September 2009!
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it!
Top international publisher, Headline are publishing a book on 'The King of Shaves Story' in September. I was approached by James Wills, of book agent Watson, Little last June after he read a profile piece on King of Shaves and I in Shortlist Magazine, the deal was done late last year, and between January and April I was typing hard, writing the manuscript.
Having had the final meeting with Headline executives today, including Jonathan Moseley, I've been told I can let the good news out! I'll be posting snippets about the book over the next few months and weeks time (with Headline's permission of course), but they have told me it's a wizard read, maybe not Harry Potter level, but I've put as much passion and creativity into it as I do into King of Shaves.
'The King of Shaves Story' is the working title - it hasn't got a title yet (any ideas? - I set KoS up in the last recession) - but rest assured, as soon as I can tell you more about it, I will. All updates will be tweeted out here and I'll be setting up a little micro-site too, along with a whole host of other exciting stuff - watch this space!
Many thanks to the dozens of you who've emailed me saying how much you're looking forward to reading it, and to my followers on Twitter who've tweeted and re-tweeted the good news out.
Roll on September!
