Literary Prize Shortlists, Cover Art, and International Fanmail were all the name of the game for February at TBP Literary Agency…

We also had some fabulous publications: Kieran Larwood’s CARNIVAL OF THE LOST published with Faber Children’s, and Nancy Tucker’s THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING came out in paperback—both on 17^th February.

Let’s see some art!

Just as excitingly, we had some beautiful *cover reveals* this month:
