Two Hoots announces Gravett and Chichester Clark titles

Two Hoots, an imprint of Pan Macmillan, is publishing two new titles by illustrators Emma Chichester Clark and Emily Gravett.

Chichester Clark is teaming up with debut author Ben Manley for The Misadventures of Frederick, her first book for Two Hoots. Suzanne Carnell acquired world rights from Chichester Clark’s agent, Caroline Walsh at David Higham Associates, and Ben Manley’s agent Paul Moreton at Bell Moreton Lomax, and will publish in October.

Carnell will also in October publish Gravett’s Meerkat Christmas, a follow up to Meerkat Mail, as part of a previously agreed deal. Gravett’s agent is Philippa Milnes-Smith at LAW.

Carnell announced the deal as Two Hoots celebrates its third anniversary. She said: “We have an amazing breadth of talent at Two Hoots, both from established names and debut authors and illustrators who we are launching into the picture book world,” she said. “I know these will be our stars, award winners and bestsellers of the future.”
