The work of my first client is, I am sure you will agree, a sparkling piece of lad-lit reminiscent of Hornby at the height of his powers. I am expecting a bidding war.
By Freddy aged eight and three quarters.

Dear Mr Crow,
My firm would like to represent Freddy in the UK/North American market for his short fiction. We already have major Hollywood interest in the film rights to "Oh Lucas", with George Clooney as Lucas and Angelina Jolie as Spain. We are confident we could negotiate, on behalf of the author, a substantial advance payment in women's underwear.
yrs etc,

You just need a blurb from Fay Weldon, and away you go.

Oh heck, he has already designed the flyer to announce his own website, Fred's Shack, launching on Jan 1st 2009. Next thing; he'll be wanting a Friends of Fred Facebook page.
