DKW are delighted to announce an exciting deal: Manpreet Grewal, Junior Commissioning Editor for Sphere, has acquired What Milo Saw plus a second novel by debut author Virginia Macgregor from Bryony Woods of Diamond Kahn & Woods Literary Agency. What Milo Saw is the story of nine-year-old Milo, whose eyes are slowly failing – and he will eventually go blind. But for now, he sees the world through a pin hole, and notices things other people don’t. So when he realises that things are amiss at his grandmother’s nursing home Milo sets out on a mission to expose the truth.
Manpreet Grewal said: “What Milo Saw is an emotional and moving novel about one exceptional little boy. It will be impossible for readers not to fall in love with Milo, savour his story and share it with everyone they know. Virginia Macgregor is remarkably talented and I am delighted she has chosen Little, Brown as her home.”
Virginia Macgregor said: “I am thrilled that my debut novel, What Milo Saw is to be published by Little, Brown. It’s a joy to know that my novel is in the hands of such a supportive, intelligent and creative team; my writing has found a fantastic home.”
Bryony Woods said: “Virginia Macgregor’s wonderfully quirky and heart-warming debut novel, What Milo Saw, is an absolute joy to read. I knew the moment I first encountered Virginia’s work that she was something very special – a rising star with incredible talent, and the power to make me both laugh and cry with the turn of a page. I’m delighted to have found such an energetic and enthusiastic home for this truly wonderful debut novel.”
Little, Brown will publish What Milo Saw in hardback and trade paperback in July 2014, with the paperback following in spring 2015.
