So, two weeks done and we feel like the new kids in the office, slowly settling in. We’re not having to ask annoying questions like, ‘Where are the staples kept?’ any more. We have set up Excel spreadsheets and created email folders and generally found a nice working rhythm that suits us both. Now we feel that we’re all organised and ready to find some writing brilliance!

In other news we have a Facebook page! Here it is:

https://www.facebook.com/SkylarkLiteraryLtd

We will be posting any interesting articles that we come across and chatting about publishing stuff. We’ve already posted a few interesting things we’ve seen. We will all miss PD James so as a tribute we’ve shared her top 10 tips for writing novels – we especially like number five!

Also there is an article pondering whether adults should read YA. The answer seems obvious to us but others don’t feel the same, so we’d be interested to hear your views.

Please do come and visit us there and tell us what you think. Don’t be shy! Come and join the conversation.

Friday already! How did that happen? This week has sped by in such a whirl. We’re loving our new day-jobs – liaising with authors, seeing all the exciting submissions come flooding in and generally getting Skylark off the ground. We’ve been so lucky to have so much enthusiasm from everyone – editors, authors and fellow agents alike – so a big THANK YOU to you all. You’ve made our first week feel like a huge success; would it be wrong for us to have another celebration already? :-)

We’re having so much fun here at Skylark Towers (not quite the right word for skylarks?) that we actually don’t want it to be the end of the week! Happily, work doesn’t stop with the arrival of the weekend. We still have lots and lots of lovely reading to do and we hope to be able to share news of the something we mentioned in our last post with our subscribers this weekend (if you want to sign-up you can do so here), ahead of the big announcement next week.

So we’ll be busy getting ready to start Week 2 with a bang! Lovely weekends to all. See you on the other side . . .
