Thanks to a tip off from Josephine Damian, who in turn discovered it through lit agent Jennifer Jackson, there’s a new, snarky, gossipy agent blog making its presence known…except it’s across the pond, in London.

Here’s how she introduces herself:
“Hello! My name is Daisy and I am Junior Literary Agent at the very sleepy Edward Cecil Agency in London’s Piccadilly (yawn yawn yawn) which is very conveniently placed for the delights of The Wolseley and for Hatchards. I am delighted to have landed a column about the REAL world of London publishing in The Bookseller – frankly, what took them so long – but for some reason ‘Snake Hips’ Joel will only allow me to grace their hallowed pages once a month so I have had to resort to something I tell all my clients to avoid like the bloody plague – SELF PUBLISHING. I don’t know what ‘blog’ means but apparently this is one. Anyway – hope you enjoy all of this and I look forward to all your lovely messages of support. One at a time, please, form an orderly queue, let’s keep this civilized.”
Sounds like fun. Oh, and as we’re moving into a new place that, until Saturday at least, does not yet have ze Internet, blogging might be sporadic for the rest of the week.
I see that smile.
