Fig Tree wins auction for Ferdia Lennon's debut
After a three-way auction, Fig Tree will publish Glorious Exploits as a lead hardback in February 2024.
Rebecca Carter said: “As soon as I read Ferdia Lennon’s short story in the 2014 anthology of UEA Creative Writing students’ work I knew I had encountered a writer of exceptional talent. It has been an honour and a pleasure to be a first reader of a novel he has honed to perfection over many years and to have the opportunity to be the agent making sure it gets into as many readers’ hands as possible.”
