Subject: Press release
Hi both!
Hope you’re enjoying the little bit of sunshine!
Temi – so lovely meeting you this morning. I hope I didn’t scare you off with my fangirl ramblings! I’m really looking forward to us working together.
I’ve written and attached a press release to announce your deal. This will go out to our main industry publications ( Books Today , In Book News etc.) later today. Mayee, are you able to let me know if you’re happy with it? I’ll post on Twitter, and then you can both retweet from there, if you like.
Last thing, Mayee, regarding your email about when to expect the contract, I’m chasing Legal as we speak!
Any questions, let me know.

Hi Dionne,
So lovely meeting you too! Don’t worry, you didn’t scare me off. However, I’m still overwhelmed by the idea of writing a sequel. But like you said – we can cross that bridge when we come to it.
Enjoy the little bit of sunshine too.

Mayee – sorry to nudge, but are you able to read and approve the press release soon? The guys from Books Today and co need it in the next hour and I’m about to go into a two-hour meeting.

Apologies. In a meeting. If easier I can send it to them directly?
