‘Working with Avon is an absolute joy. A writer’s life can be an isolated one at times, feeling cut off from the inner workings of the publisher industry – but not with Avon. The team are hands-on, keeping me updated and involving me at every turn. Their insight into branding and audiences is second to none and to top all that, they are all a bloody good laugh! I’m thrilled they’re my publisher and can’t wait to see what shenanigans we get up to with my next Harper Ford book!’
Harper Ford, author of Divorced Not Dead, Hot Not Bothered, and Live, Laugh, Leave Me Alone
‘There is literally no other team in publishing like Avon. They’re like a choir, all with their different parts that make a powerful melody. Plus, they’re super fun, which goes a long way in the otherwise very solitary “writing a book” process!’
C.L. Taylor, author of The Guilty Couple, Every Move You Make and It’s Always the Husband
‘Signing with Avon was an absolute dream come true. I’d loved their books for years, and felt welcomed into the family right from the start. The best thing about the imprint is definitely the people – everyone’s been so warm, enthusiastic and kind, making me feel very lucky to have such dedicated people to work with on each book’
Helen Fields, author of The Institution, The Profiler and Watching You
‘I’m so incredibly impressed with how easy and wonderful it’s been working with Avon. From acquisition to publication and beyond the whole measure has been completely seamless. While it’s wonderful to be felt very much part of a team and included in decisions surrounding my books, it’s also comforting to rest on Avon’s unparalleled knowledge of the market as they propelled my debut novel, The Forgotten Village, into success beyond my wildest dreams in such a short space of time. I’m beyond thrilled to be with such a dynamic and proactive publisher.
Mandy Robothom, author of The War Pianist and A Dangerous Game
‘As a debut author I feel very lucky to be with Avon. Everyone on the team is enthusiastic and passionate about what they do, and I’ve felt supported and included in every step of the process. They work so hard to champion their authors, and their excitement about my writing has helped to boost my confidence. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to launch my writing career.’
Sue Moorcroft, author of Under a Summer Skye, A Skye Full of Stars and Over the Sea to Skye
‘The Avon team is a delight as each of its members is approachable, creative and responsive. We work together to build my brand and sell my books.’
