December 2009 - Three Book Deal for Client with Fiction Publisher

Boji is an allegory about finding one's place in the world. Boji, the solitary bottlenose dolphin, loves interacting with humans. His adventures of surviving and trying to find his sense of belonging, by finding a pod of his own as well as keeping his relationship with humans, are described in this beautifully written, deeply touching, highly original book.

Robert Alan-Haven sent us the manuscript for assessment in 2008, following a few rejections from literary agents. We have worked with Robert and improved the book at the level of structure (repositioned some key elements, for instance, a wild attack scene placed at the very beginning of the book), pace (revised slow-paced scenes in the second half of the book), plot (repositioned an apparently minor fact in the first half of the book, which gains key importance in the second half, creating a twist in the plot) and characters (improved consistency of physical appearance and personality traits of main characters).

In November 2009 Robert contacted directly new publishers Peak Publish and they happily offered him a three book deal. Boji's launch took place at Country Book Shop in the picturesque village of Bakewell, in the Peak District, on 2nd of December 2009.

Huge congratulations to Robert and we can't wait to see the next two books in print.
