Behind-The-Books Blog

A final farewell…

Friday, August 27th, 2010

Well, it’s my last ever blog for A&B, and I just wanted to use this chance to say thank you to everyone who has made my time at A&B so enjoyable. I’ve got so many good memories of my time here – launch parties, book fairs, author lunches and cups of tea with agents, meals out with the A&B girls and our many and varied work experience people (I’ll never forget the poor boy who got locked in the toilet! Bless him!)

It’s been a fantastic six and half years, and there are a lot of things I will be able to look back on and smile at, and feel proud about. And of course, there will be many things I will miss as well.

You can be sure that in my new life as a teacher-in-training I’ll continue to support A&B in my own little way by wearing my A&B jute bag with pride around the uni campus and turning all the A&B books face out on bookshop shelves. I’ll also continue to read this blog to see what’s going on in the world of A&B, so make sure you keep writing, everyone!

All my very best to all the A&B blog readers. And goodbye to 13 Charlotte Mews!

Love Louise Watson (now Ex-Editor at A&B!) x


Susanna Kearsley Says:


Bye, Louise. Thanks for everything. Go make a wonderful teacher!




Sally Spedding Says:


Louise, I’m sure you’ll be much missed but teaching is a wonderful career too. Lucky kids!
Thankyou for being such a great editor.
All the very, very best for the future,
Sally

    Sara: Birdsong, the BBC's adaptation of the Sebastian Faulks novel. I wish I'd read the book first, but it's got such a great cast I can't resist watching it.
