Since November 2009Book Deal: Arrow Signs ‘Playgroup’ Novel
October 20th, 2010 by LeahArrow editor Gillian Holmes has acquired school-set fiction title The Playgroup by Janie Fraser.
Holmes bought world English language rights through agency director Teresa Chris in a two-book deal.
Holmes said: “The Playgroup is a warm, funny and romantic story with such brilliant characters that I was drawn into the fictional world of the school from the first line. Janie writes with humour and sympathy about the issues facing everyone as they struggle with little ones, but what drew me most was the hilarious and heart-wrenching portrayal of the under-fives together with the lives and loves of the adults who look after them.”
Arrow will publish The Playgroup as a paperback original in September 2011.

This one sounds like a great one, and one I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for!
