Weekly Highlights (Oct 30th – Nov 5th)
It’s been another busy week at The Blair Partnership as we celebrated Halloween with some pumpkin decorating in the office and shared the agency’s highlights during our November company meeting!
Books Published
On the 2nd of November, P.A. Staff’s fantastic debut, CASANDER DARKBLOOM AND THE THREADS OF POWER, was published! It’s the first instalment in a fantasy middle-grade series that flips the chosen one trope on its head, and if that isn’t enough to convince you to read, just look at that beautiful cover! Buy your copy here.
Also on the 2nd of November, Sir David Khalili’s memoir, THE ART OF PEACE, was published. For the first time, Sir David shares his extraordinary journey: one that has taken him through the souks of North Africa, the auction houses of Europe and the United States, the bazaars of South Asia, and far beyond.
