HarperCollins imprint Avon has signed two novels from a blogger who details family life from inside the world of politics.
Molly Bennett’s blog, mid-wife-crisis-blog.blogspot.co.uk, describes the hectic schedule of a mother of two teenagers who works for a fictional backbench Labour MP. It has twice been named one of Total Politics’s top Labour blogs.
Lydia Newhouse, the recently appointed commissioning editor at Avon bought UK and Commonwealth rights for the books from Claudia Webb at WME.
She said: “Funny, commercial and cleverly insightful, Molly has huge appeal to readers everywhere. It’s going to be a delight to publish Molly’s novels on the Avon list.”
The first book is scheduled for release in March 2014.
