Janson-Smith has Transworld moment
25.07.07 Katherine Rushton
Patrick Janson-Smith, the former Transworld publisher who left to become an agent with Christopher Little, has sold his first book back to the Random House Group. The Glamorous (Double) Life of Isabel Bookbinder is the first title in a series by début novelist Holly McQueen, and was bought by Kate Elton at Arrow for launch next May.
Janson-Smith said: "The moment Holly and I walked into the Arrow meeting room and saw . . . each letter of Isabel Bookbinder’s name attached to an individual pink and sparkly cake, we knew we were in the right place. Intended as a serious compliment, it was a Transworld moment: the whole team onside, all excited and all working towards the same goal."
