Harry Hill turns his quill to kids’ series for Faber

Another celebrity is set to move into kids’ publishing, after Faber Children’s snapped up a series by comedian Harry Hill.

World rights to three books were signed from Paul Stevens at Independent Talent.

The first, Matt Millz, introduces 12-year-old Matt, who is desperate to be a stand-up comedian and perform at the Hammersmith Apollo.

Due in November 2017, it will be illustrated by Steve May, best known for his work on Dennis the Menace.
